Red Sox hall of fame, not the big HOF. -

thats contrarian sarcasm folks.. SERIOUSLY, whoever cast that one vote should have their privileges voided PERMANENTLY going forward!
Aaron Sele gets a vote and the most valuable catcher in history ( Doug Mirabelli ) wasn't even on the ballot. Something just ain't right???? -

I thought the Sox were pursuing Sele as a potential #5 starter in 2013.

My 94 year-old Mom passed away in Dec. 2011, and she always said that Aaron Sele was her favorite all-time Red Soxer. I'd tease her that she only said that because she thought he was so cute. So I can honestly say that I know of someone who would have endorsed that one vote. God bless and RIP Mom. -

I think it was 1993 but Sele was in a bar/pizzeria we were at in Portland Maine.....

I was severely disappointed when Sele was traded...he was a damn good pitcher...
btw, contrarian, your posts are becoming worse by the day...get a grip or get lost...

But only if it were a short-term deal. Sele wanted a 3 deal and the Sox wouldn't budge. -

This kind of thing happens all the time. Uusally it is a journalist who knows the player personally, and decides to give him the distinction of receiving a single HOF vote as sort of a present. It's is not a big deal. Kevin Appier also got one vote, as did many others who everyone knew had 0 chance of getting enshrined.
The far more confusing ones are the players like Rob Nen who got TWO votes. OK, so he had a friend who covered him as a player and gave him the gift vote. But who was the other guy voting for Rob Nen? Rob Nen?!!?
