Either way, baseball writers view themselves as the gateway to the hall. It’s come out many many times, that someone is voting against joe bob because they didn’t like what joe bob said to them 20 years ago. Or someone is a heathen. Or they knew jim bob was getting in anyways, and didn’t want him being unanimous or higher % then jay bob.
Allowing that dated kind of bs, along with way too many teams openly tanking and cheating concerns leading their yearly topics...Im just amazed that MLB gets enough support from younger fanbases to continue to grow.
