Just last night, Scott Rolen was the lone elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by a margin of just five small votes.
Todd Helton was the closest to seeing his name immortalized forever, but it’s only a matter of time in his case.
However, it’s a whole different story for the one who ended his career with the New York Yankees, Alex Rodriguez. The latter experienced a slight increase of one percent in votes compared to last year, but we are still very far from the mark, he who arrives at 35.7%, or nearly 40% below the required threshold.
We all know that his involvement in the steroid scandal weighs heavily in the balance, since if we trust his statistics, he should enter the Temple without any reluctance. His suspension for the entire 2014 campaign adds arguments to voters who do not want to include him on their ballot.
The same situation also applies to Manny Ramirez.
IF Barry Bonds is still not inducted into the Hall of Fame, we can’t expect the two protagonists to be opened to the big doors anytime soon.
