The 2021 National Baseball Hall of Fame class was announced on Tuesday and for the 8th time in history the BBWAA did not vote a player into the Hall of Fame.

Baseball has always had its share of controversial players and this year's Hall of Fame ballot was no different. The top 3 on the ballot- Schilling, Bonds and Clemens. Bonds and Clemens had no movement in votes but we did see a slight uptick in Schilling, still not enough to get him into the HOF. Now Schillings has written a letter to the Hall of Fame requesting to be removed from the ballot saying he will not participate in the final year of voting.
