Dan Shaughnessy And His Pitiful HOF Ballot Should Be Shot To The Moon

This is why people think voting for the Baseball Hall Of Fame is a joke. The Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy turned in his ballot for Cooperstown with one single name voted for, Mariano Rivera. Good choice, Dan. Now pick nine others. Picking only Mo and no one else is such a joke. You're telling me that NO ONE else on this list deserves a vote? I don't give a shit if it's their first time on the ballot or tenth, only voting for one person is basically abusing the voting system.
I get that it is his ballot and he can vote for whoever he wants, but the fact that he's doing a one and done thing is insane. It's obvious that Mo is a first ballot HOFer, no one is questioning that. I'm questioning his reasoning for only voting for one person. Roy Halladay may get in on the ballot, why not vote for him? I still think its ridiculous that Bonds and Clemens aren't in, but thats a story for another day, if you don't want to vote for arguably the best player and pitcher because of their links to steroids, I'm okay with that. But the other guys? Why no Mussina, why no Edgar Martinez, why no Fred McGriff, why no Larry Walker, why no Juan Pierre?
He said that the one man vote was a reaction to Harold Baines getting in earlier this year, and that reasoning makes no god damn sense.
"Today is not the day to debate the steroid guys, but the Baines Effect has me choosing the single player on this ballot who is clearly Hall-worthy and appears not to have cheated the game."
What does this even mean, Dan? Because Baines got in you're only voting for Mo? Again, I understand you don't have to use all 10 votes on your ballot, but YOU making this about yourself is ridiculous. Because you think Harold Baines isn't HOF worthy (I don't either) you decide to potentially punish another deserving player and withhold a vote from him? Unreal. In the article linked above he mentions they are asked to determine players who are hall of fame worthy, he's clearly not doing that. Is he not going to vote for Mike Mussina or Edgar Martinez next year if they don't get in? He didn't deem them HOF worthy in 2019, why would that make them HOF worthy in 2020?
This is a classic example of why people think old crusty white guys shouldn't be voting for the Hall Of Fame anymore. The Baseball Hall Of Fame voters are some of the most stuck up, arrogant people out there, and this ballot echoes those thoughts. What a joke.
