Derek Jeter and two other baseball stars will have the stage to themselves this summer in Cooperstown, N.Y.No player was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame in this year’s cycle. Results of balloting from the Baseball Writers Association of America were released on Tuesday night. Jeter and Walker were elected by the baseball writers; Simmons and longtime union chief Marvin Miller were selected by the Hall’s Modern Era Committee. Pitcher Curt Schilling came close, getting 71.1 percent of the vote and falling just 16 votes shy of the 75-percent threshold required for election. “I’ll defer to the veterans committee and men whose opinions actually matter and who are in a position to actually judge a player,” Schilling wrote, according to USA Today.

Like many baseball writers, C. Trent Rosecrans viewed the Hall of Fame vote as a labor of love. Schilling, a right-handed ace who won three World Series titles, finished 16 votes short of the 75% threshold necessary for enshrinement. Schilling, Clemens and Bonds will be joined on next year's ballot by sluggers Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz. Schilling wrote on Facebook that he would like the veterans committee to review his Hall case. “I’ll defer to the veterans committee and men whose opinions actually matter and who are in a position to actually judge a player,” Schilling wrote.

What happens if no one is elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame this year? Jeter and Walker were elected by the baseball writers; Simmons and longtime union chief Marvin Miller were selected by the Hall’s Modern Era Committee. On the surface, the fact that Bonds and Clemens are hovering on the bubble might be seen as an encouraging sign. But Bonds, Clemens, Schilling and Sammy Sosa are all in their ninth seasons, which could make next year’s now-or-never vote a bit more interesting. This year, however, Jeter, Walker and Simmons will very likely have the stage to themselves in Cooperstown.
