Ichiro was so much fun to watch. Loved those first few years, how much we all were stunned at how good dude was, all around. Stepped in and dominated.
Thought there was a chance he might get 100%^ of the vote. I think he got like 99.7
There was 1 asshole who didn't vote for Ichiro.
Yeah, I just don't get what justification someone can come up with for not voting for him. It has to be some petty bs, which imo, should strip them of their vote from now on.
Are they looking for their " 5 minutes of fame?" Do they want to feel "important " for a few minutes?
I never understood anybody's aversion to making someone a first ball hall of famer. It's actually hard to believe it was more of a thing years ago from 1937 through 1961 nobody got in on the first ballot and that includes people like Joe DiMaggio.
Yankees bias. well also the baseball writers are assholes.
not all of them are.

which is the nuttiest thing given all the greats throughout history.
Ty Cobb had the highest percentage for years until Tom Seaver. So players like Mike Schmidt, Willie Mays, Johnny Bench, STAN MUSIAL and TED WILLIAMS were all not voted in unanimously.
The fact that Bonds, Arod Clemens and the bunch, Palmiero too, aren't in is still a crime.
also, tempo’s halos sign a fifty year old closer. don’t you need leads to need a closer?

Someone said the halos have the opposite of a farm system. An Orange County retirement community
Just read Rendon has made over $141k per plate appearance with the halos.
