I'm trying to be optimistic and hope that this was a "big Hall" voter who knew Ichiro would make it and used the vote strategically for another candidate. Maybe to keep a borderline candidate on the ballot. Most likely, however, this person was just an asshole.

Happy as a Phillies fan to see the surge of support for Utley. Confused by people who vote for him but not Wagner, when both arguments rely on advanced stats and how they compare to others at their position.

I'm a simple man. I see Dusty Rhodes in a fur coat, holding the National Heavyweight Championship belt, being interviewed by Bob Caudle, and I hit like.
