I think that’s the least the mystery voter could do.
I don’t see the pros to being anonymous, especially when it comes to this.
You’re voting for SPORTS, it’s baseball!
Why are we letting these guys hide?
It’s not politics, it’s not a life or death matter, it’s baseball.
No reason at all why these guys can’t all have their ballots be public.
You want your voice and vote to count, put your name and face next to it.
That’s how it should have been.
Like Jeff wrote above, accountability matters, especially in a situation like this.
Messing with history matters, taking something sacred away from Ichiro and his family matters.
Did he think he didn’t belong in the hall?
Or did he just not want him to be unanimous?
Big different there, if you are too embarrassed to show your face than your vote shouldn’t count.
So what happens when the tables are turned and we want to hear from this specific media person?
Has a chance to show his face and state his reasoning, crickets.
Cowardly, it’s the cowards way out.
He should have to, but he chose not to.
That’s all we’ll have on this though, it’s done and over.
He won’t come out and we’ll joke about it during Ichiro’s speech during the summer.
Just super disappointing that we’ll never get to the bottom of this.
Time for things to change around HOF voting though, I think that much is clear.
