There will not be any baseball player inductees to the Baseball Hall of Fame this year. It's only the eighth time in the Hall's history that this has happened.  The closest candidate was Craig Biggio of the Houston Astros, who totaled 3,060 hits in his career and made seven  All-Star appearances, all while playing three positions in his illustrious career (catcher, second base and outfield).  He topped the ballot with 388 votes - 39 shy of the 427 needed for election. There were 569 ballots cast, the third highest total in the history of voting, but none of the 37 candidates in the 2013 vote gained the necessary 75 percent needed.
