No one will be inducted in to the Baseball Hall of Fame this time around

Steroids Era stars Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens and Sammy Sosa were also on the ballot for the first time and all fell far short of the required 75 percent. Biggio thinks it's unfortunate if he was lumped in with others associated with performance-enhancing drugs

''I think it's kind of unfair, but it's the reality of the era that we played in,'' he said. ''Obviously some guys are guilty and others aren't, and it's painful for the ones that weren't.''

He wasn't completely sure whether feelings about the others played a role in his coming up short.

''I can't get in the minds of the writers, but it's a possibility that that could have definitely been part of the deal,'' he said.
