Bronson Arroyo got one Hall of Fame vote this year. It came from Peter Gammons.

Gammons has partnered on a "Hot Stove, Cool Music" event every year to raise funds for charity. Arroyo is a musician and has been a part of the event for about 20 years.

Maybe if there are good stories behind them, the "threw them a vote" situations are OK, since so many voters never vote for their full allotment.

Gammons is relevant to this too because he once said Chipper Jones was the best pure hitter he ever saw. As a Mets fan, hated him. As a baseball fan, had to respect him.
