Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and David Ortiz appear to be the only players with a chance at Hall of Fame enshrinement when results are unveiled Tuesday.
Bonds got 61.8% of the vote in 2021, and Clemens 61.6%. So far this year, Bonds has been included on 77.5% of public ballots tracked by bbhottracker.com, and Clemens is at 76.5%. The tracker has counted roughly 48% of the expected ballots, and players have historically received a lower percentage of votes from members who don’t disclose their picks.
In northern Pennsylvania, Louisville Sluggers begin their journey to the MLB as billets of wood picked carefully from only the straightest, strongest tree trunks. NBCLX contributor Greg Bledsoe brings his Family Geography Project to Pennsylvania, where he introduces us to a man who can look at a log and tell you if it has the stuff to become a major league bat.
Bonds, Clemens and Rodriguez look like no-doubt Hall of Famers on the backs of their baseball cards, but PED suspicions have tarnished their reputations with many voters. Bonds has denied knowingly using PEDs, while Clemens has denied taking them outright. Rodriguez was banned by Major League Baseball for the entire 2014 season after violating the league's drug policy.
BBWAA members are instructed to elect Hall members “based upon the player’s record, playing ability, integrity, sportsmanship, character, and contributions to the team on which the player played.” Nobody was selected last year, with Schilling coming closest.
