ORIGINAL: Mr. Ed
The Baseball writers show a LITTLE spine:
Dan Le Batard, the ESPN host who gave his ballot to the web site Deadspin so its readers could cast a Hall of Fame ballot, will no longer be allowed to vote on Hall of Fame candidates and has been suspended for one year by the Baseball Writers Association of America.
"The BBWAA Board of Directors has decided to remove Dan Le Batard’s membership for one year, for transferring his Hall of Fame ballot to an entity that has not earned voting status," said BBWAA president La Velle E. Neal III, who covers baseball for the Star Tribune. "The punishment is allowed under the organization’s constitution."
Neal added: "The BBWAA regards Hall of Fame voting as the ultimate privilege, and any abuse of that privilege is unacceptable."

Meanwhile, some dipshit votes only for Morris because he allegedly didn't play during the "steroid era" -- but that's OK. Another dipshit (Chass), who had been planning on giving up his ballot, publically states that he intends to keep it to (in his words) spite the writers who disagreed with his ballot -- but that's OK.
Way to make a statement, LEN.
