?Turned Into the ?Sympathy Baseball Hall of Fame?- MLB HOF Voter Once Bashed Fellow Writers for Barry Bonds? Failed Induction; Wrongly Predicted an Eventual Call-Up

Barry Bonds will go down as probably the finest hitter in baseball. His power generation with the bat to launch moonshots game after game was a soothing sight for baseball fans.

Had he not been involved with PEDs (performance-enhancement drugs) Bonds would have been in the same company as Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and a few other MLB Hall of Famers. But it is a pity that the San Francisco Giants legend will never get the Hall of fame induction.

Earlier in 2019, when Bonds still had left three more years of eligibility for a chance to get into the Hall of Fame. And Rob Parker, a Hall of Fame voter, had blamed his fellow baseball writers for not voting for the controversial MLB legend.

Back in 2019, when Rob Parker discussed the 2019 Hall of fame class with Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe, Parker said that his fellow baseball writers (voters) had gone astray for not voting for Barry Bonds.?

?This is where they have gone astray, and I am one of them. But they really have on this because a lot of stuff you talked about is so true. And this is what I don’t get. You know, in order for Barry Bonds to win those seven MVPs, the writers have to vote for him. They voted for him during that time,? Rob Parker said in 2019.

While Rob heaped on Bonds for his remarkable performances, he also predicted that the Giants legend will get the honor in the next couple of years. However, it did not happen as Bonds? year of eligibility to get his HOF induction expired in 2022.
