John D'Acquisto knew Barry Bonds was destined for baseball greatness. Although MLB Home Run King Barry Bonds didn't receive the minimum of 75% vote from the Baseball Writers' Association of America in his 10th and final year on their hall of fame ballot, the 14 time all-star and two-time National League batting champion should get another crack at enshrinement in Cooperstown.

The final tally of the Baseball Writers Association of America's National Baseball Hall of Fame ballot will come out next Tuesday. On that list is a 'who's who' of Major League Baseball records and accomplishments. The MVP, CY Young and other awards owned by the list of ballot members could sink a ship. However, many of the names that own much of that prestigious hardware are in danger of their time on the Hall of Fame ballot expiring with induction.

Keep in mind, because of the pandemic, the 2020 festivities that surround the annual ceremony were called off. Dereker Jeter and Larry Walker headlined last year's class, but their inductions are now scheduled to be commemorated this July.

If you had a vote for the National Baseball Hall of Fame, would vote-in players tied to performance enhancing drugs?

What's Barry Bonds been up to since retiring? Well, apparently, he's taken up freaking people out as a way to pass the time.

Barry Bonds will be in a MLB clubhouse in an official capacity once again, although it's only going to be during spring training - at least for now.
