ORLANDO, Fla. – Roger Clemens spent a decade falling short on the Baseball Writers Association of America’s Baseball Hall of Fame ballot. He fared worse against a 16-person committee of Hall of Famers, team owners, former executives, and media members who met Sunday in Orlando, the site of the 2025 MLB Winter Meetings.
