BBWAA voters are a small group with a very big responsibility. We should be willing to talk about it. Or write about it. It’s what we do.

Ichiro Suzuki became the first Japanese player chosen for baseball’s Hall of Fame, falling one vote shy of unanimous when he was elected along with CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner.
