SAN FRANCISCO -- Barry Bonds and Jeff Kent frequently appeared back to back in the batting order as Giants teammates. When the subject is Hall of Fame voting, however, Bonds has steadily separated himself from Kent in recent seasons.

Bonds and Kent again joined forces to lead the Giants' contingent on the 2018 Hall of Fame ballot that was released Monday. The momentum surrounding their respective candidacies, however, is vastly different.

Bonds appears to be surging toward enshrinement by the Baseball Writers' Association of America, befitting his status as baseball's all-time home run leader and a seven-time National League Most Valuable Player.
