Hall of Fame: Barry Bonds falls short, but Derek Jeter voted into Cooperstown

Barry Bonds, down to the final inning of his candidacy on the Baseball Hall of Fame ballot, struck out again on Tuesday.

Baseball’s greatest player of the past quarter century, Bonds’ path to Cooperstown continues to be compromised by performance-enhancing drug accusations as he was named on 60.7 percent of the Baseball Writers Association of America ballots, still short of the necessary 75 percent for the hallowed hall.

Error 0:

The former Giants star, who left Major League Baseball in 2007 as its all-time home run leader with 762, will appear on the ballot just two more times before dropping off.
