Thursday/Friday BP: A disappointing end to two Giants legends’ Hall of Fame bids

Good morning, baseball fans.

It’s a tough week to call myself one, if I’m being honest. The unwritten and arbitrary rules of who can and cannot enter the Hall of Fame keep ruining what should be joyous moments of recognition and celebration in the world of baseball.

Instead, two of the most iconic players in San Francisco Giants history, two players that rocked the world of baseball as a whole, fell off the Hall of Fame ballot on Tuesday.

I grew up a Giants fan by birthright, but if it weren’t for Barry Bonds becoming a Giant when I was a child, I wouldn’t have become passionate about the game.
