Hall of Fame first baseman and Giants legend Willie McCovey told John Shea of The San Francisco Chronicle that Barry Bonds deserves to make the Hall of Fame.

"I just think it's a sin he's not in there," McCovey told Shea. "If anybody deserved to be in the Hall of Fame, it's Barry."

McCovey, who was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1986, spoke to Shea about whether or not players who were linked to performance enhancing drugs should be voted into the Hall of Fame in light of the letter sent around by Hall of Fame vice chairman Joe Morgan encouraging voters to not elect players linked to PEDs.
