Tuesday BP: Lincecum and Bonds appear on Hall of Fame ballot

Good morning, baseball fans!

It’s that time of year that I have somewhat come to dread. Arguing with people you usually admire and respect about things that don’t really matter on the whole. No, I’m not talking holiday dinners with the family. I’m talking Baseball Hall of Fame chatter.

Every year, this topic divides fanbases, friendships and families alike as people debate the merits of what makes a player worthy of being in the Hall of Fame. If you’re lucky as a player, people wait until you’re actually on the ballot to argue about you. If not, well, then you have the reactions to the Buster Posey retirement.
