"Naw, consecutive game record, 400+ HRs, countless Allstar selections, gold gloves, stand up guy, modest guy, I don;t think he deserves MY vote this year." I can't imagine anyone not voting for these guys... If this "unwritten law" weren't in place I'd be surprised to find out that it wasn't unanimous if there 5000 voters.

Remember Dave....you can only pick so many from the field of nominees.....so thats how nobody gets unanimous selection...not to mention you will always have one writer with a grudge or something!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

Clemens will be a could test for the unanimous thing in the next few years - unless something comes out about steroids.

Tough to argue with the names on that list though. Except maybe for Ripken who I wouldn't put in the same class as the others.
