It's about electing the right people, not getting hundreds of voters to vote in lockstep. Deserving people got in, undeserving people got dropped. Job well done.

(I'm a lot more annoyed at people thinking that Francisco "K-Rud" Rodriguez deserves election for getting in brawls in the family room and blowing save after save…but I am a Mets fan.)
Just an old man shaking his fist at the clouds. :-)

I loved Grandy too. I can't imagine a rationale for leaving Ichiro off of a ballot. I rant.
