Summary

If you're a baseball fan, you know by now the Baseball Hall of Fame will not be inducting anyone this year. That's right. Nobody received enough votes to make it.

0:47.8	where you draw the line.
0:49.0	I'm going to read this paragraph because I think it's very interesting.
0:52.0	If Bonds and Clemens aren't voted in next year
