CLEVELAND, Ohio — The ongoing Hall of Fame snubbing of Cleveland legend Kenny Lofton has ignited fresh frustration among those who covered his stellar career, with the latest modern era committee ballot exclusion becoming a hot topic on the Cleveland Baseball Talk podcast.

Host Joe Noga didn’t mince words when discussing Lofton’s absence from the eight-player ballot, which includes controversial figures Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens in their first year of eligibility under this committee format.

“Kenny Lofton, a former Cleveland All-Star, Gold Glove, center fielder, franchise legend, one of the greatest players in the franchise’s history snubbed, I guess, is the only way to put it. Again, it seems like it’s the same old story,” Noga stated with clear disappointment.
