MLB Hall of Fame voting: Barry Bonds, Jeff Kent trending up

On Tuesday, it was announced that Derek Jeter and Larry Walker earned the requisite number of votes to be inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. On the outside looking in once again were former San Francisco Giants stars Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent.

In order to be inducted, players need to appear on at least 75 percent of the ballots.

Bonds received 60.7 percent of the vote in his eighth year of eligibility. That means he was 57 votes short of enshrinement from the panel of 397 voters.

Kent netted 27.
