Ten-year members of the Baseball Writers Association of America do the voting. The number of members of that association changes from year to year as new writers become eligible and older writers retire.

There's no significance to the number of voters. Every member of the Baseball Writers Association of America with at least 10 years experience gets to vote.

It's the number of 10 year credentials that have been given to the Sportswriters of America.
