As I have not been a card-carrying member of the Baseball Writers Association of America since I was 20 years old, I do not have a Hall of Fame ballot.
And to be honest, I’m not all that interested in ever getting one. I’m not much for clubs.
But my bosses, bless ‘em, were interested in who I would vote for on this year’s ballot — hence this column.
Luckily, I have spent a lot of time thinking about this year’s voting, because, for the life of me, I cannot understand some of the ballots that I have already seen from my peers.
