When the Baseball Hall of Fame results are announced on Wednesday, two of the most iconic names of their generation probably will not hear their names — again.
Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, now in their fifth years on the ballot, have appeared on just under 65 percent of known ballots among electors so far (as tracked by Ryan Thibodaux), but shy of the figure required to enter Cooperstown.
They’ll fall a bit short of the 75 percent required, but will be closer than ever. That’s progress. Unless you stand for Truth, Justice and the American Way.
