The 2023 Hall of Fame voting is in process. Baseball writers are getting their ballots in. Some are making them public. Some are keeping them private.
Some are solid ballots that are perfectly defensible from a variety of reasonable points of view. Some are Looney Tunes levels of inexplicability (now that’s a good word) if you’ve ever watched a baseball game or read a stat sheet.
After following the BBWAA voting for the last few years, I’m not sure that watching a baseball game or reading stats are a prerequisite for becoming a Hall of Fame voter.
