Kent received 14 of the available 16 votes for induction, cruising into Cooperstown, while Bonds again got less than five votes and has only one more ludicrous chance to get in, in 2031, before he is banned for good. And while Kent's career is to be noted with a whistle of admiration, one wonders if he didn't stand on the shoulders of Bonds to make his bones.
Make it make sense! Toronto Blue Jays legend Carlos Delgado missed the cut for the Hall of Fame by just a few votes. He was eligible for Cooperstown by way of the Era's Committee and Delgado got nine total votes for 56.3% of the ballots, just three votes shy of induction. Another former Blue Jay, Jeff Kent, did get in receiving 87.5% of the vote.
