- No player inducted to Hall for ninth time ever and first since 2013
- Schilling (71.1%), Bonds (60.7%) come closest to 75% threshold
The baseball Hall of Fame won’t have any new players in the class of 2021 after voters decided no one had the merits on-the-field or off for enshrinement in Cooperstown on this year’s ballot.
Curt Schilling, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were among the closest in voting by members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America released Tuesday, and the trio will have one more chance at election next year. It’s the first time the BBWAA didn’t choose anyone since 2013.
