Some fans at Major League Baseball’s annual offseason Winter Meetings apparently were not happy to hear San Francisco Giants legend Jeff Kent be announced as the newest member of the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Hall of Fame President Josh Rawitch went on MLB Network live from their setup inside an Orlando hotel lobby on Sunday night to say Kent was the lone person out of eight on the Contemporary Baseball Era committee ballot to be elected. It became clear it was Kent based on the credentials Rawitch read off, but when the top man at the hall officially said Kent’s name, some boos were faintly audible from fans lingering near the set.
