After hitting 493 home runs in his 19-year career, 'The Crime Dog' Fred McGriff gets the nod from Baseball Hall of Fame's Contemporary Era committee.
McGriff was unanimously elected to baseball's Hall of Fame through a vote by, earning all 16 votes as others who dropped off the writers' ballot saw their support shrivel.
But slugger Barry Bonds — a seven-time MVP — and pitcher Roger Clemens — a seven-time Cy Young Award winner — failed to garner at least four votes. That less than 25% support is a significant dropoff from the 66% and 65% of votes Bonds and Clemens received, respectively, from the Baseball Writers' Assn. of America in their final year on that ballot.
