Baseballs class of 2014 has been announced for the National Baseball Hall of Fame and for the second year, two of the greatest players ever to compete in the game - Roger Clemens and Barry Bonds - have been denied entry to Cooperstown. Fake Yeezy Boost 350 V3 . Do you think its time for both men to be elected to the Hall? In their first years of eligibility, Bonds and Clemens fell well short of the 75 per cent of votes needed to be enshrined. Clemens got 37.6 per cent of the ballots cast, while Bonds trailed slightly behind with 36.2 per cent. Both dipped slightly this year - Clemens to 35.4 per cent and Bonds to 34.7 per cent. While their on-field credentials are never in doubt, how they allegedly arrived at them over the course of their careers has been subject to much debate and speculation. Bonds is the all-time home run king with 762 over the course of his storied 22-year career. He also holds the single season home run record of 73 which he set back in 2001. He has also been named National League MVP seven times - far and away the most of any player in the history of the game and was a runner-up for the honour twice. Bonds also led the National League in walks 12 times, including his final season in 2007 (at the age of 42) and is the all-time leader in that category with 2,558. Not to mention 14 All-Star teams and eight Gold Gloves. Clemens, meanwhile, won American League MVP honours in 1986, is a seven-time Cy Young award winner and has earned more individual awards than any other pitcher in baseball history. He finished his 24-year career with an impressive 354-184 record, a 3.12 ERA and 4,672 strikeouts (the third most all-time). Clemens also led the league in wins four times, was a seven-time ERA leader and five-time strikeout champion. However, its impossible to ignore the shadow that the alleged use of performance-enhancing drugs has cast on both of their careers. Both men have denied using PEDs and have both been acquitted in federal court of lying to a grand jury and congressional committee, respectively. Bonds, however, was later convicted of an obstruction charge while rumours and speculation continue to run rampant around both former stars. While Bonds and Clemens are the two highest-profile names, other Hall-eligible players who have been painted with similar brushes are also having trouble garnering votes. Rafael Palmeiro, Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Mike Piazza and Jeff Bagwell are also still on the outside. So the question remains - should Bonds, Clemens or any other player allegedly connected to PED use be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame? As always, Its Your! Call. Fake Yeezys Boost .

PETERSBURG, Fla.DETROIT -- Despite falling a single short of hitting for the cycle in front of his childhood idol, Eugenio Suarez still had a memorable game. Playing in just his eighth career game, Suarez had a double, triple, homer, two RBIs and scored three runs in Detroits 12-9 victory Saturday. He grounded into a force out in the eighth inning, ending his bid for the cycle. Making it even better, former Tigers star Magglio Ordonez was watching from a Comerica Park suite. Suarez grew up in Venezuela with Ordonez as his favourite player, and wears the same No. 30 jersey. "I didnt know I was ready to have a game like that," Suarez said. "It was great to have the chance at the cycle, even if I didnt get it, but it was more special because Magglio was here." The 22-year-old Suarez started the season in Double-A, and only got 12 games at Triple-A before coming up to the Tigers early this month. Hes hitting .400 with three homers in the big leagues. "We knew that he had some power, but we didnt expect him to come out like this," Tigers manager Brad Ausmus said. "Hes become a major part of our offence a lot faster than we expected." One of Detroits veteran leaders, Victor Martinez, is also surprised at the way Suarez has arrived in the majors. "Hes been playing great for us, both on offence and defence," Martinez said. "When I came up to the majors, it took me a while to adjust and get into a rhythm, but he has just stepped right up." Suarez led off Detroits seven-run third inning with a homer and added an RBI double before it was over, but the Tigers had to hold on after jumping out to an 11-1 lead. The Twins scored eight runs in the final three innings against a slumping Tigers bullpen. "Weve got to be able to finish off games better than that," Ausmus said. "We had to get our top two guys up, and we used almost everyone else. That cant happen." Ian Krol got his first major league save by getting the last four outs, but also gave up a two-run homer. "Ive never been part of anything like that," said Krol, whose only other professional save came in Double-A. Detroit came into the game having lost 17 of 24 after a fast start to the season, but it was helped by another strong pitching performance. Anibal Sanchez (3-2) was charged with three runs and four hits in 6 1-3 innings. Sanchez, Drew Smyly and Max Scheerzer have combined for a 1. Fake Yeezys. 69 ERA in Detroits last three games. Sanchez was in complete control before he walked the leadoff hitter in the seventh and allowed a one-out RBI triple to Eduardo Nunez. Evan Reed then came in, and Nunez scored on a passed ball. Samuel Deduno (2-5) lasted just 2 2-3 innings for Minnesota, which had won three in a row. The right-hander allowed seven runs and seven hits, struck out three and walked two. "Nothing was good today," he said. "I didnt make good pitches, and I didnt get much luck. I just couldnt stop their offence." Suarez started the third with a drive over the bullpens in left, moments after Ordonez was shown on the video board and received a huge ovation. Suarez drove in Nick Castellanos with a double later in the inning, and Torii Hunter also had an RBI double. Martinezs drive off the top of the right-field wall was originally ruled a double, but quickly became a two-run homer after a replay review. Ian Kinsler drove in the seventh run of the inning with an infield single, and third baseman Trevor Plouffe strained his left oblique diving for the ball. Plouffe stayed in the game for another batter, but had to leave after aggravating the injury while throwing out Hunter to end the inning. Suarez added a triple in the seventh. Only one player -- Cliff Heathcote of the 1918 St. Louis Cardinals -- has recorded a cycle within the first eight games of his career. The Twins scored three times in the seventh and eighth to close to 12-7, but Krol retired Joe Mauer with the bases loaded for the final out of the eighth. Krol allowed Brian Doziers homer in the ninth before finally finishing a game that had lasted almost four hours. "We kept swinging, and they didnt pitch very well after the starter came out, so we had chances," Minnesota manager Ron Gardenhire said. "We got back into it, and the guys were up and yelling in the dugout." NOTES: With the homer and double in the third, Suarez became the first Tigers player with two extra-base hits in an inning since Ordonez on Aug. 12, 2007. ... The teams finish the three-game series Sunday afternoon with Detroits Rick Porcello facing Minnesotas Ricky Nolasco. ... Gardenhire said Plouffe will probably go on the disabled list Sunday, and that he is also concerned about Nunez, who injured a hamstring late in the game. ' ' '
