... so why does the HOF like having writers vote?
Seriously.  The Hall seems to really like its voting constituency and like the way the writers do things - even the 20%+ who haven't been covering the game for 10, 20 years.  What does the Hall like about this?
...........
Just grasping at straws here:  perhaps the HOF believes that it lends to the Hall's dignity, the more that people like Craig Biggio have to grovel to get in?
