totally agree. Voting should be open also.. college football coaches polls are. I want at least one of the I think 7 (?) guys explain why they voted for Clemens and not Bonds. I can understand why you do or don't vote for either, and I wouldn't hold that against anyone, but to vote for one and not the other??? WTF?

edited to add-- I still think players should be given several opportunities to be voted in, since I'd never have faith writers would get it right the first time every time.
