COOPERSTOWN W/O ANY INDUCTEES FOR 2013!!!
Zero inductees for Cooperstown, MLBaseball's
Hall of Fame for the 8th time since 1936*.
(*Yahoo!Sports reports 16th-time since 1940.)
The last time this happened was 1996, and coincidentally, Barry Bonds was snubbed then, too, along w/ 6 other ball-players whom were later inducted (Phil, Niekro, Tony Perez, Don Sutton, Ron Santo, Jim Rice & Bruce Sutter***).

Maybe it's time for Cooperstown to consider creating
an Asterisk Society because of those eligible and snubbed
by members/writers-qualified to elect HoF inductees.

Whether it's Clemens, Bonds, Sosa or even re-visiting the conversation of Pete Rose being eligible for recognition in baseball's shrine for those whom love baseball and care to visit.

Sure, gambling & cheating isn't something everyone
should celebrate or smile about, but it's safe to say
World Champions (as well as League & Division winners)
whom receive recognition despite gaining an edge or
advantage over it's opponents due to incorrect calls.
