With this year's Hall of Fame voting complete, Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens can no longer be elected to Cooperstown, a decision that is a disgrace to baseball.

The final tally of the Baseball Writers Association of America's National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot will come out next Tuesday. On that list is a 'who's who' of Major League Baseball records and accomplishments. The MVP, CY Young and other awards owned by the list of ballot members could sink a ship.
