Is there any info posted anywhere that shows who each member of the baseball sports writers association actually voted for? I guess my main question is who the hell didn’t vote for Tony Gwynn? There are roughly 550 voting members and he got 97.5% of the votes. That means that there were roughly 14 voters who did not vote for Tony. That is ridiculous. I’m not a Padre fan looking for the 100% vote, but come on, the guy won 8 batting titles, 5 Gold Gloves (in the outfield!), 15 time All Star, and finished with a .338 lifetime batting average. That someone didn’t vote for him is a tragedy. I'd like to hear one of these writers reasoning behind not voting for TG. Ripkin missed out on a few votes as well. Gimme a break...

THE INDIVIDUAL VOTES ARE NOT PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE.

LIke all other votes, these are private, and they ought to remain so. Any given voter has the right to voluntarily publicize their vote, but not the obligation to do so. That allows them to not be harrassed by individuals who disagree with their opinions.
As well, there are some people who believe that no such vote should be unanimous, and will therefore not include a given individual who will be voted in no matter what.
So, how about if you give them a break and allow them to exercise their right to have and hold their own opinions?
