While Boston Red Sox icon David Ortiz will be inducted into the National Baseball Hall of fame, former Sox greats Roger Clemens, Curt Schilling, Manny Ramirez and Jonathan Papelbon each missed out on being elected on Tuesday.In addition, the trio of Clemens, Schilling and Papelbon are no longer eligible to be elected into the Hall of Fame via the Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot.A Hall of Fame candidate must appear on at least 75% of the total ballots cast in order to gain entry into Cooperstown.Clemens received 65.2% of the vote across 394 submitted BBWAA ballots, according to the results. He was in his 10th and final year of eligibility on the Hall of Fame ballot.Considered one of the greatest right-handed pitchers of all time, Clemens played the first 13 of his 24 seasons with the Red Sox. In 1986, he won both the American League Most Valuable Player and Cy Young Awards while setting the MLB record for strikeouts in a single game (20) and leading Boston to the AL pennant. He later tied his own single-game strikeout in 1996, his final season with the Sox.Clemens, who finished his career with a record seven Cy Young Awards, was alleged to have used performance-enhancing drugs during his MLB career, which ultimately cost him his chance among BBWAA voters."My family and I put the Hall of Fame in the rear view mirror 10 years ago. I didn’t play baseball to get into the Hall of Fame. I played to make a generational difference in the lives of my family, then focus on winning championships while giving back to my community and the fans as well," Clemens wrote in a statement. "It was my passion. I gave it all I had, the right way, for my family and for the fans who supported me. I am grateful for that support. I would like to thank those who took the time to look at the facts and vote for me. Hopefully everyone can now close this book and keep their eyes forward focusing on what is really important in life. All love!"Schilling received 58.6% of the vote in his 10th and final year on the ballot. In last year's Hall of Fame election, he appeared on 71.1% of the ballots and was just 16 votes shy of getting into Cooperstown. In a surprising move, Schilling asked to be removed from the 2022 BBWAA ballot following the results of the 2021 election."Every year the conversation revolves around who didn’t get in. Like All-Star voting, who got cheated. I say it every year and especially this year, focus on who did get in," Schilling tweeted. "David Ortiz deserved a first-ballot induction! Congratulations my friend, you earned it!"Papelbon, an All-Star closer who was part of Boston’s 2007 championship team, was on his first year on the Hall of Fame ballot. He received less than 5% of the BBWAA vote, which means he will be removed from the ballot.All three pitchers can still earn entry into the Hall of Fame by being voted in by the Today’s Game Committee. One of four specialized era committees, the Today’s Game group considers retired Major League Baseball players no longer eligible for election by the BBWAA — along with managers, umpires and executives — whose greatest contributions to the game were realized from the 1988-2016 era. Ramirez, a seven-time All-Star and two-time champion with the Red Sox, also failed to earn election into the Baseball Hall of Fame by appearing on 28.9% on ballots. However, this was Ramirez's sixth year on the ballot, so he has four more chances to earn election into Cooperstown.Ortiz, meanwhile, earned votes on 77.9% of BBWAA ballots in his first year of Hall of Fame eligibility. The designated hitter known as “Big Papi” played 14 of his 20 major league seasons with the Red Sox. He helped Boston win three World Series titles, including the championship run in 2004 that ended the “Curse of the Bambino” and an 86-year title drought.Clemens, 59, earned three AL Cy Young Awards and five All-Star Game selections during his time with the Red Sox from 1984 through 1996. He led the American League in earned run average and shutouts four times; strikeouts three times; victories twice; and winning percentage once while playing for Boston. He also finished sixth in the 1984 AL Rookie of the Year award voting.The Ohio native and longtime Texas resident played his 11 other major league seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays (1997-98), New York Yankees (199-2003, 2007) and Houston Astros (2004-06). He ended up winning seven Cy Young Awards in total: six in the American League (1986-87, 1991, 1997-98, 2001) and one while pitching in the National League (2004). He also made the AL All-Star team a total of nine times (1986, 1988, 1990-92, 1997-98, 2001, 2003) and made the NL All-Star team twice (2004-05).Clemens won the American League pitching Triple Crown — leading the league in wins, strikeouts and ERA — in back-to-back seasons with the Blue Jays in 1997 and 1998. In total, he led his respective league in ERA seven times (1986, 1990-92, 1997-98, 2005), the second-most all-time; shutouts six times (1987-88, 1990-92, 1997); strikeouts five times (1988, 1991, 1996-98); victories four times (1986-87, 1997-98); winning percentage (1986, 2001, 2004) and complete games (1987-88, 1997) three times; innings pitched twice (1991, 1997) and games started once (1991).He ranks third all-time with 4,672 strikeouts, seventh all-time with 707 games started and ninth all-time with 354 wins.Clemens appeared in 24 postseason series, including six World Series, posting a 12-8 record with a 3.75 ERA in 35 games. He was a member of the Yankees’ World Series championship teams in 1999 and 2000.Schilling, 55, played the final four seasons of his 20-year major league career with the Red Sox, who acquired him from the Arizona Diamondbacks in a 2003 trade that was completed the day after Thanksgiving.In his first season with Boston, Schilling led the American League with 21 wins, was named an All-Star and helped the Sox break the "Curse of the Bambino" as part of the 2004 World Series championship team. His most iconic moment in a Boston uniform came during that postseason when he defeated the rival New York Yankees on an injured ankle and a bloody sock in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series.Schilling would win another World Series title with the Red Sox in 2007. Before his time in Boston, he won a championship with the Diamondbacks in 2001 and was co-MVP of that World Series with Hall of Famer Randy Johnson. He also played for the Philadelphia Phillies, Houston Astros and Baltimore Orioles.He finished his career with a 216-146 win-loss record, a 3.46 earned run average and 3,116 strikeouts. He was inducted into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2012.Papelbon, 41, played seven seasons for the Red Sox, becoming one of the most dominant closers in baseball after coming up through Boston’s minor league system and making his MLB debut in July 2005.The six-time All-Star finished second in the 2006 American League Rookie of the Year voting after going 4-2 with 35 saves and a 0.92 ERA in 59 appearances. He topped 30 saves eight times (2006-12, 2014) in his 12-year MLB career, including six straight times with the Red Sox. His mark of 368 career saves ranks 10th on the all-time list.Papelbon had a postseason win-loss record of 2-1 with seven saves and a 1.00 ERA in 18 appearances. He did not allow a run in his first 17 postseason appearances, a stretch that covered 26 innings.Ramirez, 49, joined the Red Sox as a free agent in December 2000 after playing the first eight seasons of his MLB career with the Cleveland Indians and earning four All-Star nods.He would be named an All-Star in each of his eight seasons as Boston's left fielder, with 2006 being the exception. He won the American League batting title in 2002 with a .349 average and finished second behind teammate Bill Mueller the following season.In 2004, he led the A.L. with 43 home runs on his way to winning the Hank Aaron Award. In the postseason, he helped the Red Sox win the World Series after an 86-year drought and was named the most valuable player of the Fall Classic.Ramirez won another title with the Sox in 2007 before they sent him to the Los Angeles Dodgers before the July 31 trade deadline of the following season. He would also play for the Chicago White Sox and the Tampa Bay Rays in his 19-year major league career.The right-handed slugger finished with a career batting average of .312 with 555 home runs and 1,831 runs batted in. He was an 11-time All-Star and won nine Silver Slugger awards. He was elected into the Red Sox Hall of Fame in 2020.
