About this Article

We asked our baseball writers and columnists who cast Baseball Writers' Association of America ballots for the National Baseball Hall of Fame to share their votes and explain their rationale and difference of opinion they have with other votes. BBWAA ballots must be turned in by Dec. 31 and the results are expected to be announced on Jan. 9.
