For the first time since 1996, and just the eighth time since 1936, no baseball players were elected to the Hall Of Fame by the BBWAA.  Three players on the ballot for the first time had the numbers to get in, Bonds, Clemens, and Sosa,  but having been associated with using steroids, were kept out. In order to get in a player needs 75%, the closest was Craig Biggio with 68.2%. Here is the list of players on the 2013 ballot and the percentage of the vote they received, and how many times they have been on the ballot.
