Fred McGriff Elected to Baseball Hall of Fame As Bonds, Clemens Denied Again

The National Baseball Hall of Fame announced the results of its Contemporary Era committee vote on Sunday, and only one new member will be elected into Cooperstown this time around: five-time All-Star first baseman Fred McGriff.

The 16-member committee consists of Hall of Famers, executives and veteran media members. Each member was allowed to vote for up to three candidates, and all of them included McGriff on their ballots.

Among those who were not elected include Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Curt Schilling and Don Mattingly. Candidates needed to receive 12 votes to be inducted. Mattingly received the second-most votes with eight, while Schilling received seven and Dale Murphy got six.
