Two simple steps to fix Hall of Fame voting

No one was elected to the Class of 2021 for baseball’s Hall of Fame in voting results announced Tuesday.

There’s another “no one” involved in that result, and that’s the number of people who are happy about it.

Either people are throwing up their hands and saying “I quit, I just don’t care about the Hall anymore” or are speculating about how votes might move up or down in 2022 and I’m here to tell you that if the Hall of Fame really wanted to end all these controversies and institute a voting procedure that would be a) fair b) equitable and c) get more people involved in the process, they could easily do so.
