Hall of Fame Ballot Announced

[Mike D.]

By my count, there have been 19 pitchers with 200 career wins and 3,000 strikeouts.

Not in the HOF:

- Clemens (on this ballot)
- Schilling (on this ballot)
- Verlander (active)
- Scherzer (active)
- Sabathia (not yet eligible)

If you prefer WAR, Schilling is 26th all time among SP's.

Those above him not in the HOF:

- Roger Clemens

3 WS rings, a 4th Series with the Phillies, broke the "Curse," crazy all-around playoff and WS numbers- these all matter.....

His post-career behavior has clearly kept him out.

He also won the Clemente award so he did have a period of good character for sure.

I'm pretty sure we are supposed to memory hole Schilling's charity work. People are not people anymore with strength and weakness and complexities, they are one dimensional heroes or villains based on today's narrative.
