Tainted Ramirez, Rodriguez on Hall ballot with Guerrero (Yahoo Sports)

In this Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2015, photo, Manny Ramirez talks to reporters in the dugout before Game 4 in baseball's National League Division Series between the Chicago Cubs and the St. Louis Cardinals in Chicago. Ramirez isn't listed on either the coaching or support staffs as Chicago heads into the NL Championship Series. Yet nearly every hitter on the roster checks in with him regularly and the team's young Latin players--budding stars Jorge Soler and Javier Baez, in particular--also revere him as some kind of life coach or guru.

Steroids-tainted stars Manny Ramirez and Ivan Rodriguez are on baseball's Hall of Fame ballot for the first time along with Vladimir Guerrero. Jeff Bagwell is the top holdover on the 2017 Baseball Writers' Association of America ballot after falling 15 votes short of the required 75 percent in 2016 voting. Ramirez was suspended for 50 games in 2009 while with the Los Angeles Dodgers for using a banned female fertility drug.
