In his 10th and final opportunity to be voted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America, Fred McGriff received 39.8 percent of the votes, falling short of the 75-percent threshold needed for induction.
McGriff will now have to wait at least several more years before he can be inducted through other means.
McGriff played the final game of his 19-year career in 2004. He would end his career with 493 longballs and was one of just a few players in baseball history to surpass 200 home runs in both the American and National Leagues.
