The BBWAA voters have made their decision, and it's not entirely unexpected. Despite their stats being among the best of all time, neither Barry Bonds nor Roger Clemens need to make hotel reservations for Cooperstown - at least, not this year. Both failed to get the 75% of votes needed to be elected to the Hall of Fame. Then again, so did everyone else.
