Not one candidate will be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2021, which marks the first time since 2013 that no MLB player received enough votes.

Nominees require 75 percent of the vote from writers across the country in order to be inducted, and none of the eligible players received that in a rare occurrence that has only happened three times in the past quarter of a century.

Former MLB star Curt Schilling received the most votes at 71.1 percent. Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens followed suit at just above 61 percent.

Schilling just missed the mark in the previous attempt, and he was just a few votes shy of entering in 2021. He will be hoping for an induction next season, which is also his final year on the ballot.

Ex-MLB stars Scott Rolen, Omar Vizquel and Billy Wagner were among the others to be left out of the class of 2021, and their hopes will have to wait for another year–although it doesn't look too good for any of them going forward.

The Hall said there were 401 ballots submitted and a record 14 blanks, which is astounding by any means.

Schilling seemed the most likely to get in this season, but voters might've been a bit weary after his social media antics over the past few years were directed at journalists.

Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds will also hope to get in next year on their final opportunity to be inducted into Cooperstown.

For the PED-troubled group, the ballot will get even more difficult for them to crack with MLB legends Alex Rodriguez and David Ortiz among notable candidates to be included.
