Along with car advertisements, fortune cookies, and Scoop Jackson's Page 2 column on ESPN.com, the bottom of the voting results for sports awards and honors continues to be among the most entertaining reads today.

Below is the bottom of the list for the 2006 Baseball Hall of Fame voting:

NUMBER OF VOTES RECEIVED
Will Clark 23 (4.4%)
Dwight Gooden 17 (3.3%)
Willie McGee 12 (2.3%)
Hal Morris 5 (1.0%)
Ozzie Guillen 5 (1.0%)
Gary Gaetti 4 (0.8%)
John Wetteland 4 (0.8%)
Rick Aguilera 3 (0.6%)
Doug Jones 2 (0.2%)
Gregg Jefferies 2 (0.4%)
Walt Weiss 1 (0.2%)
Gary DiSarcina 0 (0.0%)
Alex Fernandez 0 (0.0%)

I'm the owner of three Gregg Jefferies 1988 Fleer rookie cards and two Walt Weiss 1988 Score rookie cards, which used to be worth something back in the day. So in addition to being astoundingly funny, Jefferies's and Weiss's election in to the Hall of Fame would've made me a richer man. Like, $2.50 richer.

Anyways, I should point out that all of these players are no longer eligible for election by the Baseball Writers Association of America. So no harm, no foul. But still, how can anybody, even the biggest, most crazed preponent of intangibles, possibly justify giving Walt Weiss a Hall of Fame vote? Or Gregg Jefferies? Ozzie Guillen?

Hal Morris got five votes. Five! Hal Morris! Are you freakin kidding me? I mean, okay, he had two or three good seasons and hit .300 a few times. So did Shane Mack. Why isn't Shane Mack on the Hall of Fame ballot?

(Thank the Lord none of the writers felt Gary DiSarcina deserved a vote. If I was a voter, I wouldn't have just left the box next to his name blank. I would've crossed his name out with a magic marker.)

No, nothing disastrous came of these votes, and yes, it's good times reading them. But bottom line, if a Hall of Fame vote is that trivial, why even bother with it? Last time I checked, the Baseball Hall of Fame was a pretty big deal. The vote for it shouldn't be screwed with like this.
