Hello and happy Tuesday.
There are six former San Francisco Giants on the current Hall of Fame ballot: Barry Bonds, LaTroy Hawkins, Tim Hudson, Jeff Kent, Omar Vizquel, and Barry Zito. Bonds seems to be the only one with a shot at making the cut, but if history serves as any indicator he’ll again be passed over on account of setting every record in the book while using the same substances that seemingly every player he competed against was also using.
Anyway, baseball writer and analyst Ryan M. Spaeder has been doing a magnificent project, wherein he gets MLB players — both anonymous and named — to cast their “ballots” for the Hall of Fame, to show who the players actually think should get in.
