Schilling falls short in latest Hall of Fame bid

PHOENIX -- Former D-backs right-hander Curt Schilling came up short once again in his bid for enshrinement in the National Baseball Hall of Fame, finishing with 60.9 percent of the vote in results announced Tuesday evening.

A player must be named on at least 75 percent of the ballots cast by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America in order to be selected.

Closer Mariano Rivera (100 percent), right-hander Roy Halladay (85.4 percent), designated hitter Edgar Martinez (85.4 percent) and right-hander Mike Mussina (76.7 percent) were elected. They will join Veterans Committee selections Harold Baines and Lee Smith in being inducted this summer.
