It is good to point out that Bonds y Clemens they had memorable major league careers, but their reputations were tarnished by the steroids era, which is why they fell short in common Hall of Fame ballots and served their years of eligibility without getting the required 75%.
Whoever is selected in this vote will be exalted on July 23, with anyone else who is selected in the BBWAA vote, the results of which will be revealed on January 24.
