Ivan Rodriguez: Fame Ballot and Jeff Bagwell

ivan rodriguez: Jeff Bagwell is the top holdover on the 2017 Baseball Writers Association of America 34-player ballot announced Monday, according to Toronto Star. He fell 15 votes short of the required 75 per cent in 2016 voting. Elise Amendola / The Associated Press By The Associated Press Mon., Nov. 21, 2016 NEW YORK Steroids-tainted stars Manny Ramirez and Ivan Rodriguez are on baseball Hall of Fame ballot for the first time along with Vladimir Guerrero. Ramirez was suspended for 50 games in 2009 while with the Los Angeles Dodgers for using a banned female fertility drug. He applied for reinstatement that December, and his suspension for the second failed test was cut from 100 games to 50 because he sat out nearly all of the 2011 season. He retired in 2011 rather than face a 100-game suspension after testing positive for a performance-enhancing substance. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
