Now that Barry Bonds has been convicted and sentenced for obstruction of justice can we assume he will now be ineligible for the baseball Hall of Fame? A guy who was so enamored with hitting baseballs into SF Bay that he went from a 185 pounds in 1992 to 240 pounds only a couple of seasons later. An All-Star left fielder who couldn't even throw out slow-motion runner Sid Bream at the plate trying to score from second based on a single to left field in the last playoff game he played with the Pittsburgh Pirates. Which also happens to be the last playoff game the Pirates played.
This produces an interesting irony. The all-time MLB hits and home run leaders will never make the HOF.
Will Roger "I'll Decide When I Play" Clemens join them on this list?
Good luck in prison, Barry.
