LittleHurt05 Posted July 15, 2014 Share Posted July 15, 2014 I would prefer they just take the ballot away from all the boneheads, but it's a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too late for Maddux. Yes, they have to groom Jeter to be the first unanimous, it will take a few years since it's only scuttle now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They include blank ballot boneheads but censure LeBatard for letting Deadspin vote on his ballot choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 That's stupid. So you have to vote for someone for the HoF even when you don't believe anyone deserves it? That's a great way to get undeserving guys in there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you have to vote for someone for the HoF even when you don't believe anyone deserves it? That's a great way to get undeserving guys in there I was worried about that too, but given that you need 75% of the vote, I'd say the odds of someone getting voted in simply because of this rule would be slim.
