2013 Hall Of Fame Class
Bonds, Clemens, Sosa set for ballot
For several years, baseball fans have argued whether Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa belong in the Hall of Fame. Starting on Wednesday, the voters who will actually decide that debate can get to work. Bonds, Clemens and Sosa are set to show up on the Hall ballot for the first time, with all sides eager to find out whether drug allegations will block the former stars from reaching the shrine. The 2013 ballot will be announced at noon EST. Craig Biggio, Mike Piazza and Curt Schilling are certain to be among the other first-time eligibles. Jack Morris, Jeff Bagwell and Tim Raines are the top holdover candidates. Longtime members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America will vote through next month. The much-awaited results will be announced Jan. 9, with players needing to be listed on 75 percent of the ballots to gain induction. The upcoming election is certain to fuel the most polarizing Hall discussion since career hits leader Pete Rose's betting troubles put him on baseball's permanently ineligible list, barring him from the BBWAA ballot. Entiore article: http://espn.go.com/mlb/story/_/id/86...ar-hall-ballot Who deserves to be "voted in" in 2013? The sad thing is (probably) Bonds and Clemens had Hall of Fame careers before (depending on when) they actually started on steroids. In addition, it wouldn't surprise me if the others were on steroids too, they just didn't get caught. Last edited by ScriptOhio; 11-28-2012 at 08:55 AM. |

No players elected to Hall of Fame by BBWAA
Steroid-tainted stars Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa were denied entry to baseball's Hall of Fame, with voters failing to elect any candidates for only the second time in four decades. Read More: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mlb...#ixzz2HW1ok0fd |

I think Biggio, Bagwell and Morris should have gotten in.
If Murphy would have been able to sustain longer he would be a lock, and I don't think Clemens or Bonds will get in until the veterans committee puts them in. As far as anyone is concerned, Sammy Sosa's career never happened.

A career ERA of 3.90 and ERA+ of 105. That's not dominant. With Maddux coming on the ballot next year I don't think Morris gets in and rightfully so. |
