In his 10th and final appearance on the Hall of Fame ballot, Barry Bonds fell short of receiving the necessary votes required for enshrinement in Cooperstown.
Why did Barry Bonds not make Hall of Fame?
The 66% of votes Bonds earned in 2022 marked his best showing yet, but the former Giants left fielder’s Hall of Fame fate will now be decided by a committee.
The percentage of votes Bonds received increased in each of the 10 years he was eligible for enshrinement on the writers’ ballot.
But with a significant share of the electorate pledging never to support a player who purportedly used steroids.
Who was elected into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 2022?
