With three more bites at what is a very tainted apple, all-time greats Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens still have hope of getting into the Hall of Fame.
Bonds and Clemens _ linked forever in greatness on the field and accusations of performance-enhancing drug use off it _ both moved up slightly in balloting that was announced on Tuesday night. They each have three more years left on the Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot under current rules.
Bonds, baseball's all-time home run king, was named on 59.1 percent of the ballots. Seventy-five percent is needed for induction to Cooperstown.
