This is becoming Hall of Fame week around here. Earlier at VEB we voted for our own Hall of Fame choices and announced the results, electing Derek Jeter and Larry Walker.
I offered my own (knowingly) controversial take on the 2022 ballot from the perspective of a BBWAA voter. That perspective forces some thoughtful voters to expand beyond an “are they a Hall of Famer or not” approach to account for and counter all-to-frequent less-than-thoughtful ballots from other baseball writers.
My article (which you can find here) sparked that kind of conversation around one choice in particular: Joe Nathan.
