Tony Gwynn

This statement regarding Tony Gwynn's vote total, courtesy of Jayson Stark, pretty much sums up my opinion...

"But there is no other responsible reason -- none -- to withhold a vote for Ripken. And the same goes for Tony Gwynn, who should have been an easier choice than Ripken. Aside from the blank-ballot duo, 11 voters failed to vote for Gwynn -- owner of the second-highest career (.338) of any player whose career began in the last 75 years. (Only Ted Williams, at .344, is higher.) For even 11 writers not to have cast a vote for Gwynn is an embarrassment to the BBWAA."
