Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens snubbed by Baseball Hall of Fame in steroids-era rebuke - The Washington Post
Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens snubbed by Baseball Hall of Fame in steroids-era rebuke - The Washington Post: "Baseball is a game that reveres numbers, and their numbers offer indisputable evidence they were among the best to ever play. Barry Bonds clobbered more home runs than anyone in a single season or a career, and was honored as his league’s most valuable player a record seven times. Roger Clemens won 354 career games and was named winner of the Cy Young Award as his league’s best pitcher seven times, another record.

Steroids Fallout: No BB Hall for Bonds, Clemens - ABC News
Steroids Fallout: No BB Hall for Bonds, Clemens - ABC News: "No one was elected to the Hall of Fame this year. When voters closed the doors to Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa, they also shut out everybody else.
For only the second time in four decades, baseball writers failed to give any player the 75 percent required for induction to Cooperstown, sending a powerful signal that stars of the Steroids Era will be held to a different standard.
All the awards and accomplishments collected over long careers by Bonds, Clemens and Sosa could not offset suspicions those feats were boosted by performance-enhancing drugs."
