Jeff Bagwell spent a career putting up huge stats, the kind that often get posted on plaques in Cooperstown. Whether he's elected or not, Bagwell says he'll feel something other than happiness or disappointment when the results are announced Wednesday. This is Bagwell's seventh try on the ballot - he got just 41.7 percent of the votes the first time, and was up to 71.6 percent last year in selections by members of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
