No, it’s a, “we have to vote for someone” mentality, and no one else was HOF worthy on the ballot.

They have elected no one before. And maybe it is a stick it to the juicers thing, because without that there would be plenty of qualified candidates

Think I read they have elected to not vote someone in 9 times. So it has been done but not often.

Only 3 times in the last 50 years though, and those were for opposite reasons, as too many future HOF’ers were splitting votes. In fact, I believe from those 3 empty ballots, a total of 30 HOF’ers eventually received enshrinement.
