Hall of Fame voting always seems to take on a life of its own.
That is bound to happen with any subjective voting process.
Not all Hall of Fame voters have a weird agenda. Writers who cover the Cleveland Indians, or any team, may actually take time to sit down and consider the best available options. Others covering the same team may try to make a statement and do something foolish.
Or be like this guy:
Voters are able to choose up to 10 players. And to be fair, there may not be that many guys worthy of a vote every single year.
