Hall of Fame voters reconsider Bonds, Clemens
Print Edition
The ghost of past drug scandals will be hovering over Baseball’s Hall of Fame today as the latest batch of inductees are named, with Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens facing an uphill battle to force their way into consideration.
Bonds is Major League Baseball’s career home run king with 762 over 22 campaigns, including a single-season record 73 in 2001 while Clemens won a record seven Cy Young Awards as top pitcher with 354 wins, a 3.12 earned-run average and 4,672 strikeouts in 24 seasons.
Clemens was alleged to have taken steroids in later years of his career by former trainer Brian McNamee. Bonds, whose personal trainer Greg Anderson was among those convicted in the BALCO steroid scandal, was indicted in 2007 on charges of perjury and obstruction of justice in the BALCO case, but the perjury charges were dropped.
