I did but since everyone who posts here is an expert on everything somebody will know.

No, the problem with this site is precisely that people post on topics they don't know deck about.
Credit to you for at least admitting it.

Are the Hall of Fame votes public?

I guess I don't pay as close attention to baseball as I thought because I would have bet money players ahd been inducted unanimously.

I guess this is a rabbit hole I don't want to fall in but Ruth isn't even in the top 10 as he is tied with Honus Wagner at 11th.

By margin, Ty Cobb came the closest and missed being perfect by four votes. Could it have been something simple like four people didn't turn them in or is that a dumb question?

I'd think more likely four people thought Cobb was such an asshole that they didn't want him in.
