Call it a second chance at immortality. Despite claiming to have put an elusive hall induction in the rear view, The Rocket could find himself in Cooperstown after Sunday's vote.
- each of whom failed to be elected multiple times in the past - are now worthy of induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Multiple players up for consideration - like seven-time MVP Barry Bonds - had their playing reputations tarnished due to allegations of performance-enhancing drug use. Among the players in that group and on Sunday's ballot: Houston's Roger Clemens.
In a one-on-one interview, Rawitch reiterated the Baseball Hall of Fame does not have a policy regarding players linked to steroids suspicions. He also explains that anyone elected by the Contemporary Baseball Era Committee will be honored just like the other 340 people previously enshrined. Albert Belle, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Don Mattingly, Fred McGriff, Dale Murphy, Rafael Palmeiro and Curt Schilling were named on Nov. 7 as the candidates for Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee consideration. Clemens is an 11-time All-Star, twice a World Series champion, and winner of more Cy Young Awards - seven - than anyone in baseball history.
