A number of Major League Baseball’s all time greats will be anxiously awaiting today’s Hall of Fame announcement to see whether or not they have earned enough votes from the Baseball Writers Association of America to be forever enshrined in Cooperstown.
Of course, the steroid era of baseball continues to loom large and a number of writers attempt to make statements with their ballots, so it will be interesting to see who, if anyone, earns the honor.
