Historical 2013. No Player Selected into HOF since 1996

Were you surprised that NO ONE made it into the Hall of Fame this year?  I was afraid this would happen.  And who was the one that voted fro Aaron Sele?  I saw Aaron Sele trending on Twitter and I was like “what happened?”  Then I noticed that someone had one vote for him.   There were two votes for Shawn Green and four for Steve Finley.  I guess some writers were out there to make a statement.  I feel bad for the Cooperstown merchants that look forward to the crowds.  I feel bad for the guys that get dropped after this

Here is the list from

http://bbwaa.com/13-hof-ballots/ and a quote:

Voters are not required to make their Hall of Fame ballots public, but this is an aggregation of BBWAA members who chose to share their ballots here. Some include links to pieces they wrote explaining their decisions. The list is sortable and searchable.
