as one of the better ones in recent history with players like Randy
Johnson, John Smoltz and Pedro Martinez on the ballot. I won't spend
any time debating whether Roger Clemens or Barry Bonds deserves
induction but I did find something surprising when I saw a copy of an
actual ballot this morning. I wasn't particularly surprised by who
was put on or left off, I was surprised that in 2015 these guys are
using a single sheet of paper and asking baseball writers to put a
checkbox next to the players. We had more technologically advanced
methods when I was in the fourth grade with those sheets you had to
mark up with a #2 pencil which were fed through some machine.
Are you telling me that the president of the HOF is sitting around
manually counting these boxes?? What happens a when somebody
accidentally marks off 11 guys. Forget hanging chad's, how do they
handle a pen mark
My five year old has more complicated systems.
So appropriate.
