Boston Globe's Dan Shaughnessy only votes for Giants' Jeff Kent in Baseball Hall of Fame Ballot

Boston Globe columnist Dan Shaughnessy caught the (mostly negative) attention of baseball fans on Tuesday when it was revealed that his Baseball Hall of Fame ballot had just one submission: former San Francisco Giants star Jeff Kent.

This is the second consecutive year that Shaughnessy has submitted a one-man ballot with Kent as the only person voted in, and the third year in a row he’s submitted a ballot with only one name (before Kent, it was Derek Jeter for the class of 2020).

Ballot #154 is from Dan Shaughnessy. For the second consecutive year, he submits a Kent-only ballot.
