Hall of Fame: Larry Walker’s enshrinement, Astros cheating scandal and a path for Barry Bonds

The National Baseball Hall of Fame announced its 2020 class on Tuesday and for the eighth straight season, the all-time home run king failed to receive the votes needed for enshrinement.

Barry Bonds will not join Derek Jeter and Larry Walker at a ceremony in Cooperstown this summer, but the San Francisco Giants legend did inch slightly closer to the 75 percent threshold.

Error 0:

Bonds received votes from 60.7 percent of the electorate, up from 59.1 percent a year ago and 36.2 percent in 2013, the first year he appeared on the Hall of Fame ballot.
