The Baseball Hall of Fame announced Thursday that Curt Schilling's request to be removed from the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) ballot in 2022 has been denied. The Hall's board of directors voted unanimously to keep Schilling's name on the ballot. As such, Schilling will appear on the ballot for the 10th and final time in 2022.
In the 2021 round of balloting, Schilling came just 16 votes short of the 75 percent threshold needed for election via the BBWAA ballot. His failure to earn election in what was his ninth and penultimate year on the ballot prompted Schilling to request that his name not appear on future ballots.Alec Baldwin had "no control" over his emotions on the set of a film where the cinematographer was shot dead, according to the prosecutor who has charged him with manslaughter.
