ORLANDO, Fla.—Jeff Kent was elected to baseball’s Hall of Fame on Sunday by the contemporary era committee, while steroids-tainted stars Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were among seven players who fell short once again.
Kent appeared on 14 of 16 ballots, two more than the 12 ballots needed for the 75 percent minimum.
