Next year you get Maddux and Glavine, and maybe Torre as a manager, so the Steroid Bunch will continue to take a back seat.



Other than Palmeiro, Biggio is the first player with over 3,000 hits not to get elected in his first year of eligibility since Paul Waner in 1951. Frank Thomas is also on the ballot next year.
