Rafael Palmeiro knows he isn’t getting into the Baseball Hall of Fame. The fact that in his two years of eligibility he has not gotten past 12 percent on the ballot showcases that fact, and as the odds are strong that he will probably have just enough to stay on the ballot (5 percent is needed to stay on), he will have a constant reminder for the next thirteen years.
Palmeiro recently discussed his opinion on the Hall, and the interesting comment was not the one he directed about himself. He stated that he has put it behind him, and whether that is true or not is something that Palmeiro only knows for himself. What caught our attention was his statement that Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens should be inducted.
“You’re talking about in my opinion, probably the best pitcher (Clemens) of all-time and the greatest player (Bonds) of all time," Palmeiro said. "Keep them out and then the Hall of Fame has no credibility."
This has been a statement that we have heard echoed by many other current and former baseball players. We have no problem agreeing with Palmeiro as we have both Bonds and Clemens listed as number one and two respectively on our Notinhalloffame Baseball List. It is not a stretch to say that this year’s Hall of Fame ballot will be the most anticipated of all time.
It has been a long grind, but if you have been following us for the last three weeks you are aware that we are set to add five more years of Future Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Candidates for you to vote on, and give us opinions.
As such we have a new section showcasing those eligible for the 2021 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
They are:
Anti-Flag
Aqua
Backstreet Boys
Duncan Sheik
Eels
Eminem
Fastball
Fatboy Slim
Fiona Apple
Fountains of Wayne
Fun Lovin’ Criminals
Ghostface Killah
Matchbox Twenty
Maxwell
Modest Mouse
Mogwai
Nickelback
Placebo
Reel Big Fish
Robbie Williams
Robert Pollard
Shakira
Slipknot
Spoon
Staind
The Hives
The Rasmus
The Spice Girls
Trans-Siberian Orchestra
Our first glance tells us that Eminem should be the top contender from this group, and possibly an early entry when eligible. There are other intriguing choices as the popular (though despised) Nickelback will be eligible, as will the critically loved (yet limited work) of Fatboy Slim. Of this list, we will also be keeping a close eye on the Hives and Slipknot who may be able to make a case of some sort.
You know the drill…..check them out, cast a vote and give us your thoughts!
If you follow our site, you may have seen that we name Barry Bonds as the most worthy eligible former player who should be in the Baseball Hall of Fame. In a statement to MLB.COM, the career Home Run leader agrees. Bonds stated:
“Oh, without a doubt. There’s not a doubt in my mind. ”I respect the Hall of Fame, don’t get me wrong. I really, really, really respect the Hall of Fame. And I think we all do. I love the city of San Francisco and to me that’s my Hall of Fame. I don’t worry about it because I don’t want to be negative about the way other people think it should be run. That’s their opinion, and I’m not going to be negative.”
It may not be popular, but we agree. We have stated our position on the PED Era, and Major League Baseball looking the other way until public opinion forced them to change their stance. Based on the tallies for Mark McGwire, the odds for Bonds, Sosa and Clemens seem low, regardless of the latter three being (in our opinion) a better candidate than McGwire. We will find out for sure this December.
