Whoever left Ichiro deserves all of the ire coming their way, but they’ll never get it. It’s just like the lone voter who left Derek Jeter off of their ballot five years ago. We still don’t know who did that and that’s Derek freakin’ Jeter, guys. If we’re not finding out who did it for him, then we’re certainly not finding out for Ichiro.

The fact that there has only been one unanimous selection in the history of BBWAA voting renders the distinction almost meaningless.
