for the 10th consecutive year, and it continues to be a hot topic of conversation for those within the baseball world.
The former Giants slugger was widely regarded as a Hall of Fame caliber player before suspicion arose that he used PEDs. Yet MLB stars who played during Bonds’s career continue to wonder why one of the greatest hitters in history would continue to be excluded from the Hall of Fame. One of those stars is current Astros manager Dusty Baker.spoke with Baker this week following this year’s Hall of Fame ceremony to get his thoughts on the Bonds situation.
“Same way Jeff Kent didn’t get in,” Baker said. “Same way Pete Rose doesn’t get in. Same way Roger Clemens doesn’t get in. The voters like guys of high character, guys with no marks or any suspicions about their reputation—or maybe it’s how you treated the media.”
