FILE - In this May 28, 1996, file photo, Boston Red Sox's Roger Clemens releases a pitch against the Oakland Athletics during a baseball game in Oakland, Calif., Coliseum. The Hall of Fame won’t have any new players in the class of 2021 after voters decided no one had the merits — on-the-field or off — for enshrinement in Cooperstown on this year's ballot.

It's the first time the BBWAA didn't choose anyone since 2013. (AP Photo/Ben Margot, File)
