After this year none of the candidates for Hall of Fame obtained the necessary votes for his entry into Cooperstown as new immortals, former pitcher of the major league Curt Schilling, who received 71.1% of the vote, requested by letter, to be removed from the bulletin for the 2022 HOF elections.
This request aroused the anger of former outfield and MLB legend Reggie Jackson, also known as Mr. October. The point is, the four-time World Series winner with the Yankees and Athletics, arrested Curt Schilling and blamed himself for sabotaging his Hall of Fame according to his unfortunate statements, especially when he promoted racism and white supremacy.

Jackson, who has been in the Hall of Fame since 1993, is completely certain that Schilling has damaged his own image and prevented a large part of the voting group from choosing him in his penultimate year of eligibility for Cooperstown.
“Freedom of speech has taken you out of Cooperstown, brother. Freedom of speech is great, but we can’t have a country with white supremacy, Nazis, black panthers, racist and anti-Semitic things.”
Mr. October said in a telephone interview with Randy Miller of NJ Advance Media.
