Kerry Wood, Carlos Zambrano and Sammy Sosa will not make it into the HoF. At least not any time soon. All three have been dropped out of future voting. So probably never.
Kerry Wood and Carlos Zambrano had great seasons with the Cubs, but the two pitchers did not impress the Baseball Writers' Association of America for other reasons... well all three candidates are too controversial.
Sammy Sosa has *ALL* the numbers, hitting 609 home runs in 18 seasons. He posted three seasons with at least 60 home runs, and won the NL Most Valuable Player Award in 1998, when he belted 66 homers and drove in a league-leading 158 runs. Unfortunately for Sosa, he will probably always be to controversial to make it. Corked bat, steroids allegations. poor teammate, etc...
In 2105 I predicted that Kerry Wood would not make it into the HoF, but discussed how good he was:

Out of the three, I feel Kerry Wood is getting the raw deal.
