Adam Copeland is joined by Athletic MLB Senior Writer Ken Rosenthal to break down the MLB Hall of Fame votes and how Barry Bonds is now off the ballot after not getting votes again. David Ortiz was the only player voted into the Hall of Fame last week and there were some big names that were taken off the ballot after not getting voted in after 10 years. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens both didn't get enough votes to get in and are off the HOF ballot. Ken talks about why Bonds and Clemens didn't get in this season and why he thinks some voters didn't want to vote for them. They talk about if Pete Rose will ever get into the HOF. Ken talks about how some players were just collateral damage during the PED era. Ken gives his thoughts on if he thinks all the voters should have to reveal their votes and how all the talk on social media makes things uncomfortable for some writers. And they talk about the big dip in votes for Curt Schilling and how opening his mouth a lot really cost him.
