In his 17-year career, Jeff Kent hit more home runs than any other second baseman in history.
While Kent will be enshrined at Cooperstown, home run King Barry Bonds will not.
For the 12th time, Bonds, long suspected of using steroids, failed to get enough votes.
The first 10 times was when the vote involved baseball writers.
The last two have involved a special veterans committee.
A second suspected steroid user, Roger Clemens, also failed to get enough votes.
Another player on the ballot was former L.A.
Dodger pitcher Fernando Valenzuela.
He would have been the first Mexican player elected to the hall.
