    Greg Maddux won't be a unanimous selection for the Hall of Fame.

    Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, a former reporter for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, says the only player he voted for was pitcher Jack Morris. Morris is on the Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot for the 15th and final time after falling 42 votes shy last year.

    Gurnick said Tuesday that he excluded "everybody from the steroid era."

    "I just don't know who did and who didn't," Gurnick said, adding: "Some people quibble over when the era starts, but the bulk of his career was in my opinion well before all of the widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs."

    Are you freaking kidding? This guy is an ignorant freaking pr**k. Maddux was a stud his whole career based on location. He never threw 95,he never over powered anyone. To think he used is freaking stupid. This writer is being a dumbbutt.

    Jack Morris doesn't even deserve to be in the Hall, let alone the lone vote on someones ballot. HOF voting is freaking goobered.

    No one has been an unanimous vote so why start now? It's not like Maddux was the greatest pitcher ever.

    if Morris gets in then Andy Pettitte may get in one day. If we forgive the steroid users anyway, which we should.
