There are literally millions of casual voters who are willing to fill out a ballot handed to them by an usher, who have no desire to vote 35 times online.

Its not a coincidence that the very same year that they made it online-only, that suddenly the Royals and Cardinals are both getting a huge number of starters.

The votes from each of the other 28 stadiums would have balanced things a bit more.
