Rickey Henderson, 94.8%, 27 people did not vote for him.

I can see this one through the media's eyes. Henderson was such a flake I could see where he would rub some of the old fogie "traditionalist" writers the wrong way. Some of those old farts would leave you off a ballot if you played DH in one game.

I could also pretty much guarantee the only reason Steve Carlton didn't get 100% his first year of eligibility was his tendency to tell reporters to go frick themselves after a game.
