When you figure out the why's of HOF balloting, let everyone know.
The voters seemed particularly ornery in his first few years, viewing everyone with suspicion; I think it was 2012 or 2013 that nobody got in and at least one other time only one selection. No first timers were selected in those years. I think with the passage of time, some of the older voters moved on and the newer guys were a little less jaundiced in their view.
