The Major League Baseball Hall of Fame will have just TWO new members from the 2020 class: Larry Walker (who gets in just under the wire and by only SIX votes) and Derek Jeter (who was one vote shy of unanimity):
2020 is the year for Larry Walker!

Roger Clemens, Barry Bonds, and Sammy Sosa have just two more shots to make it. Brett has more specific thoughts on Sosa’s bid for the HOF right here.
