Maybe the voter believes that, particularly with the advent of public shaming resulting in a trend toward a "bigger" hall, that unanimous should be reserved as a way to honor the top one tenth of one percent. And he doesn't think Ichiro's career warrants that distinction. Nobody else has to agree with him. It's his opinion and he is entitled to it. He doesn't have to believe that Ichiro doesn't belong in the hall. He only has to trust that Ichiro will make it without his vote.
