Cooperstown, NY — The BBWAA announced the results of their Hall of Fame voting process on Wednesday afternoon, and all five former members of the Cincinnati Reds who were on the ballot failed to be elected. Each of Lee Smith, Edgar Renteria, Mike Cameron, Orlando Cabrera, and Arthur Rhodes were eligible for election - Smith in his 15th and final year on the ballot, the other four all on the ballot for the first time - yet those knuckle-dragging baseball writers just couldn’t find a way to get these guys some plaques next to Babe Ruth, Ted Williams, or Willie Mays.
