The Hall of Fame results were announced today, and much as expected, nobody was elected in the Class of 2021. Three players, with off-field issues of different kinds, got over 60%: Curt Schilling (71.1%, falling 16 votes shy of selection), Barry Bonds (61.8%) and Roger Clemens (61.6%). But all three came up short of the 75% line necessary for induction.
After the results were announced, Schilling made public the contents of a letter he wrote to the Hall of Fame. In it, he asked to be removed from consideration next year, in what would have been his tenth and final year on the ballot.
