Schilling, bonds and clemens all failed to get 75%.
Schilling is really mad and has written a letter demanding to be removed from next year's voting.

All have merits on the field to enter Hall (based on #s). Schilling was never said to use PED's unlike the other two. With his post season successes, Schilling should be in the Hall, and not just his bloody sock.
Schilling was considered a horse’s behind long before he got political. At lot of teammates didn’t care for him off the mound. Politics should not be part of the evaluation to election to the HOF. Schilling belongs in the hall. There are plenty of horse’s behinds in the HOF.
As for the steroid era either wipe out the stats and forfeit the games or vote them in.
Totally agree about Schill, karma already smacked him dearly. The HoF rejection will fuel more criticism on the process (e.g., Harold Baines), but he will get in eventually.

Totally agree.
Unfortunately, the HOF process has become a joke. Somebody needs to take a big roto-rooter in there to clean it out. I don't blame Schilling for having his candidacy put on hold.
I find it hard to believe that members of the press would use the platform to punish, bully and abuse someone who doesn't fit the current picture they like...I mean who would have thought....

Certainly not in this era of calm and civility. < sarcasm
