But, of course, Schilling took to Twitter to complain about it.

Schilling, convinced it was the real Ponson, fired back.

Schilling, 50, received 45 of 75-percent of the vote needed to be inducted.

In 2016, Schilling received 52.3 percent of the vote and Schilling has expressed that voters will not vote for him because of his conservative views. He recently said in an interview, "I promise you if I had said, 'Lynch Trump,' I would be getting in with about 90 percent of the vote this year."
