McGwire Passed Over for Hall of Fame

We're not here to talk about your past, Mac.

As baseball greats Cal Ripken Jr. and Tony Gwynn were voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame today, baseball cheat Mark McGwire only managed enough votes to keep him on the ballot for next year's balloting. McGwire appeared on 128 of a record 545 ballots in voting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, raising doubts about whether he will ever get elected. Accusations of steriod use doomed McGwire's election and will likely cost Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro their places in Cooperstown when their balloting comes around.
