July 15, 201411 yr Paul Sullivan @PWSullivan 34m BBWAA considering eliminating (not counting) blank ballots for Hall of Fame votes. Too late for Maddux.
July 15, 201411 yr I would prefer they just take the ballot away from all the boneheads, but it's a start.

Too late for Maddux. Yes, they have to groom Jeter to be the first unanimous, it will take a few years since it's only scuttle now.

July 16, 201411 yr That's stupid. So you have to vote for someone for the HoF even when you don't believe anyone deserves it? That's a great way to get undeserving guys in there

That's a great way to get undeserving guys in there I was worried about that too, but given that you need 75% of the vote, I'd say the odds of someone getting voted in simply because of this rule would be slim.
