The idiot is probably the same idiot who denied Griffey Jr. I detailed what should happen to him on another thread because it's bullshit that a f***ing reliever gets a unanimous vote while Ichiro, Griffey Jr. (and likely Pujols when he's eligible, because why the f*** wouldn't he have some idiot ruin things?) don't.
Speaking as a Cardinals fan who has absolutely no dog in this fight and respects Ichiro's career.

I had the same question. There's been a number of players that deserve to be unanimous selections but there's always some dumb mother f***er that leaves them off for whatever reason.
Also think Beltran and maybe Jones get in next year, nobody else in this group looks all that close

Sabathia getting in and so quick is a joke.
What makes him better than Santana, Blue, Hershiser, Tiant, Schilling?

Nothing, though in Schilling's case it comes down to (literally) politics. Not going to dig into it much further but it is what it is in that regard.

Being an obnoxious asshole about his politics, yeah. Plenty of people with similar ideas in the MLB and in the HoF.
That being said, I am also very surprised that CC got in so quick... and at all.

Yep. My guess it will be a dodger writer
On the flip side the guys who we know did ROIDS to improve their game are losing out runway to get in

He was a better pitcher than four of them, for one, and a better person than the fifth.

+ a Cy Young, ALCS MVP.
From 2006-2016 he's 4th in fWAR among pitchers, essentially a top 5 pitcher for a decade. The only guys ahead of him are two first ballot locks (Verlander, Kershaw) and King Felix who very may well make it in too.
CC was likely helped by this being a fairly weak class of first timers. As for the at all part, surprised. I think everyone knew he'd be getting in at some point.

True with Jeter as well, but I can get how a rival would not vote him unanimously. Hell, I can even understand Pujols not being unanimous out of "steroids concerns" (which isn't true and has never even had the slighest bit of credibility, but someone will do it, I just know it).
But Ichiro? One of the nicest, most talented guys in the game? Griffey Jr., who would've easily had 700+ if he had stayed healthy? Those guys I don't get.
