Chrebet is a great story, and fan favorite and all-around nice guy.
But if this contest is about greatness ON the field, nice guys finish last.

I voted for Fields, but I'm possibly regretting it. This thread demands action.

Did you consider allowing us to change our votes?
Maybe in the later rounds after we read input from other voters?

Vote changing was already allowed in this one.

Considering that 4-6 votes is the standard in these threads, a single changed vote has a meaningfully high likelihood of swinging an outcome.

I really don't know what the answer to this one is. Chrebet was the higher seed, but I think I gave Fieldy the edge based on his two additional seasons.
