It's almost as if cheaters arent respected or something.


"For the first time since 2013, baseball’s Hall of Fame voters elected … no one.

Curt Schilling? Just short. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens? Still nope and nope. New-to-the-ballot stars Torii Hunter and Mark Buehrle? Not even close.

Seventy-five percent of the vote from the Baseball Writers Association of America is needed to get into Cooperstown. Schilling was the closest at 71.1 percent, just 16 votes shy. Clemens (61.6) and Bonds (61.8) were next. All three of them now head to the ballot next year for their 10th and final year."

Maybe referring to the Video Game venture and not on the field? 

He lost @ $50 mil in the venture I believe. Not sure how that would keep him out of the HoF. I'm pretty sure it's because of his political beliefs.

Thats what I was thinking, had to be something outside of baseball.

Schilling is very conservative, has been a Trump supporter, has supported (allegedly) racist individuals.

I saw speculation last week that there were some HOF voters who dislike Schilling for their reasons and might not vote for him for those reasons.

Politics aside, I don't think Schilling is a HOFer - just going on the stats.

He was a solid career pitcher. He had 3 GREAT years, and a bunch of mediocre ones. He never won the Cy. He had more losing seasons than winning ones.

Tom Glavine way deserves to be in the hall more than Curt. Jack Morris arguable deserves it more than Curt as well, though I do not 100% think Jack should be in. Tom should though.

One of Trump's failures was he did not disclose all of secrets stuffs behind AREA 51/52/53/54 before he left office 👎

Or instituting term limits on these lifetime politicians! ;)
