While four deserving stars will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer, no Cubs will be among the crowd.
It was a mixed bag for former North Siders on the ballot this winter.
Neither Kerry Wood nor Carlos Zambrano received enough votes (5 percent) to remain on the ballot. In fact, Zambrano did not receive even one vote from any of the 422 Baseball Writers Association of America voters. Wood had two votes, good for 0.5 percent.
Sammy Sosa, however, received just enough votes to remain on the ballot for 2019, as 33 writers included him among their possible entrants into baseball's most prestigious honor.
