Complaint: Pa. gun shop shooting caught on video

Conservative groups, unions battle over pay in Pa.

First Posted: 1/8/2014 ESPN host Dan Le Batard acknowledged Wednesday he gave his baseball Hall of Fame ballot to the website Deadspin because he detests the &#8220;hypocrisy&#8221; in the voting process.
Le Batard confirmed he let Deadspin readers decide which players he would vote for. Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and Frank Thomas were elected &#8212; they were on Le Batard&#8217;s ballot, as was Craig Biggio, who missed by two votes.
Deadspin had offered to pay a voter for a ballot. Le Batard said he insisted there wouldn&#8217;t be compensation.
&#8220;I didn&#8217;t &#8216;sell&#8217; anything. Only conditions were that I NOT get anything,&#8221; he posted on Twitter.
Le Batard told Deadspin that &#8220;our flawed voting process needs remodeling in a new media world. Besides, every year the power is abused the way I&#8217;m going to be alleged to abuse it here.&#8221;
&#8220;And my final reason: I always like a little anarchy inside the cathedral we&#8217;ve made of sports.&#8221;
There were 571 ballots cast by senior members of the Baseball Writers&#8217; Association of America. Le Batard is a longtime columnist for the Miami Herald.
Le Batard said he expected to be stripped of his vote. BBWAA Secretary-Treasurer Jack O&#8217;Connell declined comment.
&#8220;We respect and appreciate Dan&#8217;s opinions and passion about Hall of Fame voting,&#8221; ESPN said in a statement. &#8220;He received his vote while at the Miami Herald. We wouldn&#8217;t have advocated his voting approach, which we were just made aware of today.&#8221;
