Eligible members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America receive Hall-of-Fame ballots every autumn instructing them to choose candidates not only based on their performance on the field, but also on their integrity, sportsmanship and character. Some variation of those words have been part of the criteria for 75 years and have caused confusion and fierce debate ever since.
This year has put the meaning of the “character clause” to the ultimate test. Virtually all of the players on the ballot with the most obvious Hall-worthy statistics have something on their résumés that, depending on one’s interpretation of the character clause, could disqualify them from induction into Cooperstown.
When vote totals are unveiled Tuesday, the result could well be that no players reach the necessary 75% for enshrinement. That would be just the fourth time since 1960 that the BBWAA failed to vote anybody into the Hall.
Remember pitchers we're juicing too..
Keep this dweeb out permanently. Bonds is a fake. A nasty, psuedo tough guy. Hammerin Hank is the TRUE home run KING

This is bogus!!! Barry Bonds should have already been inducted into the Baseball Hall Of Fame. I find it funny that the Hall Of Fame voters doesn't have that energy for Major League Baseball who pocketed all those billions of dollars that Bonds and Clemens made for them.
Barry Bonds head got bigger-his feet grew in size due to the steroids...Ban him for LIFE...CHEATER!!
im gonna f you up ¡
Or you know, cheating the game.
Bonds will never get in and I think I speak for everyone when I say we don’t want him in

The Baseball Hall of Fame is reserved for high character individuals like Ty Cobb (98% vote)
If only we held elected leaders to the same character test...
