Baseball’s Hall of Fame welcomed two new members on Thursday, Mike Piazza and Ken Griffey Jr.
What is also noteworthy is that Mark McGwire did not receive enough votes and is no longer eligible to be voted in because the ten-year limit after players first become eligible has passed.
McGwire hit 583 home runs and launched 70 during the 1998 season, but of course, he had some help from performance enhancing drugs.
McGwire isn’t the only one. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens are still eligible for the Hall, and they received 44 percent and 45 percent of the vote, respectively.
