On Tuesday afternoon, the Baseball Writers’ Association of America voted on the 2020 Hall of Fame inductees. They settled on Derek Jeter and Larry Walker.
Good for Jeter and Walker, two tremendous baseball players who very much deserve that honor. But it’s hard to care much about who was voted in, when who was left out feels like a bigger story.
Yet again, San Francisco Giants legend Barry Bonds did not earn the 75% vote needed to enter the Hall. He climbed a tiny bit closer, but is still a ways off.
