The Baseball Hall of Fame will admit three new members in July: Tim Raines, Jeff Bagwell and Ivan "Pudge" Rodriguez. This year was Raines' final year of eligibility, while Rodriguez cleared the 75 percent barrier on his first try. This was Bagwell's seventh time on the ballot.
The Song of the Year award typically is one of the toughest to choose, since the rock genre has always favored full albums over individual songs. And this year is no exception, with rock legends going up against a couple of younger artists in a field dominated by the many of the same acts who are up for Album of the Year.
