Single-handedly getting someone inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame is beyond the limit of presidential power.
Probably?
Donald Trump's latest sports side-quest began Aug. 24 with a demand that Roger Clemens be added to the Hall of Fame – after playing golf with the seven-time Cy Young winner.
Undisputedly one of the greatest players in baseball history, Clemens' legacy was soiled by steroid allegations brought on by his appearance in the 2007 Mitchell Report, and he failed to receive enough votes in 10 appearances on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot.
Having scored a win on Major League Baseball's reinstatement of Pete Rose in May, Trump's again using the bully pulpit in his support for Clemens, but this case doesn't look to have a path to victory.
