HBT: Another blank Hall of Fame ballot submitted

This one from Howard Bryant of ESPN:

As it turned out, I sent my 2013 Hall of Fame ballot in blank. This wasn?t science. It wasn?t a clever attack in the three-front culture war among the players, the SABR s and the BBWAAs. It wasn?t a protest, either. It was just one voter?s inability to reach a comfortable verdict on a colossal mess that for years no one wanted to take responsibility for and that isn?t going to get any less complicated as time goes on.

No, Howard, it was you being a drama queen.

Bryant has kind words for Fred McGriff and Jack Morris later in his column. Two guys who, depending on how close the vote is, may not make Cooperstown because of the handful of voters who, like Bryant, submit blank ballots.

But at least Bryant is relieved from having to participate in what he calls ?a?joyless and sour? process. Bravo.

Anyway, this is all that needs to really be said about blank ballots.
