As Jesse Jackson often says, we have decided to go another way. Rather than allowing selection of the teams to be the exclusive domain of fans, we are including coaches and sports writers in the all-county baseball and softball balloting. Therefore, you will find printed ballots with applicable rules in this issue. We intend to stick strictly to the printed rules, and hope hundreds of fans participate in the process. We have asked county coaches to nominate their players for each of the ballot positions.
Fans can vote for one player at each position per ballot.
Coaches will be asked to cast their votes in a similar manner, as will The Journal sports staff. We will tabulate all the votes and the winners will be announced. Of course not. What we do hope is that every reasonable person will see that we have tried to be as fair as humanly possible. Speaking of human, this process will never be perfect.
