Baseball Hall of Fame (Cooperstown)

On the other hand, this twig armed little bitch probably didn't have a choice but to use a corked bat.

The 2018 Baseball Hall of Fame class was announced Wednesday, with Chipper Jones, Jim Thome, Vladimir Guerrero and Trevor Hoffman taking their places in Cooperstown, New York.

Alan Trammell and Jack Morris, who were voted in by the Modern Era committee in December, will also be inducted at the 2018 ceremony.

Jones led all players with 97.2 percent of the vote. Guerrero, in his second year of eligibility, received a massive surge in support from 71.7 percent in 2017 to 92.9 percent.

Here are the full voting results from the Baseball Writers' Association of America, via sports writer Bryan D. Fischer:

Jones was drafted first overall by the Atlanta Braves in 1990, and he spent his entire professional career with the team. He was an eight-time All-Star, won the 1999 National League MVP award and hit .303/.401/.529 in 19 MLB seasons.

Jones' 84.6 wins above replacement from 1993-2012 were the fourth-most in MLB among position players during that span, trailing only Barry Bonds (116.0), Alex Rodriguez (110.9) and Albert Pujols (85.0), according to FanGraphs.

A member of the vaunted Braves teams that won 11 straight division titles from 1995-2005, Jones is joining former teammates Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine, John Smoltz and manager Bobby Cox in the Baseball Hall of Fame.

Thome is a surprise success story as an unheralded 13th-round draft pick by the Cleveland Indians in 1989. He broke into the big leagues in 1991 but didn't become an everyday player until three seasons later.

Over the course of 22 campaigns with six different teams, Thome had 612 home runs, and that total is the eighth-most in MLB history. His .554 slugging percentage ranks 23rd all-time, and his .402 on-base percentage is 51st.

Union executive Marvin Miller, catcher Ted Simmons elected to Baseball Hall of Fame

Marvin Miller, the union leader who revolutionized baseball by empowering players to negotiate multimillion-dollar contracts and to play for teams of their own choosing, was elected to baseball's Hall of Fame on Sunday along with former St. Louis Cardinals catcher Ted Simmons.

After falling short in his first seven times on veterans committee ballots, Miller received 12 of 16 votes from this year's 16-man modern committee, exactly the 75% required. Simmons was on 13 ballots, and former Boston outfielder Dwight Evans was third with eight.

So, 2 more tries for Clemens/Bonds/Sosa, and those numbers don’t look great for them... I would guess Schilling and Omar are the only two to eventually make it from this list.
