How many more Hall of Fame weekends like this one can Cooperstown withstand? The museum's administrators have planned lovely alternatives to inducting any modern players. But posthumously saluting Lou Gehrig and Rogers Hornsby, who never received formal induction ceremonies, does not make up for the absence of the eligible-but-unelected Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, two of baseball's most statistically accomplished players. They will also be absent next year, and probably the year after that.
