Barry Bonds will go down as probably the finest hitter in baseball. His power generation with the bat to launch moonshots game after game was a soothing sight for baseball fans.

Had he not been involved with PEDs (performance-enhancement drugs) Bonds would have been in the same company as Babe Ruth, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, and a few other MLB Hall of Famers. But it is a pity that the San Francisco Giants legend will never get the Hall of fame induction.

Earlier in 2019, when Bonds still had left three more years of eligibility for a chance to get into the Hall of Fame. And Rob Parker, a Hall of Fame voter, had blamed his fellow baseball writers for not voting for the controversial MLB legend.

When a HOF voter wrongly predicted, that Barry Bonds will get into the Hall of Fame in future

Back in 2019, when Rob Parker discussed the 2019 Hall of fame class with Skip Bayless and Shannon Sharpe, Parker said that his fellow baseball writers (voters) had gone astray for not voting for Barry Bonds. 

“This is where they have gone astray, and I am one of them. But they really have on this because a lot of stuff you talked about is so true. And this is what I don’t get. You know, in order for Barry Bonds to win those seven MVPs, the writers have to vote for him. They voted for him during that time,” Rob Parker said in 2019.

While Rob heaped on Bonds for his remarkable performances, he also predicted that the Giants legend will get the honor in the next couple of years. However, it did not happen as Bonds’ year of eligibility to get his HOF induction expired in 2022.

“So despite how he treated us, we looked at the numbers and what he was doing, and we could not deny it… And I do believe he will get in before his time is up. Because what the Hall of Fame has turned into is the Sympathy Baseball Hall of Fame…,” the HOF voter added.

Rob Parker left disappointed

Earlier this year, when baseball writers voted for David Ortiz instead of Barry Bonds, Parker was in disbelief. He left disappointed by his fellow voters.

Taking to Twitter, Parker shared how disappointed he was. “Thumbs down! No Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens into the Baseball Hall of Fame,” Parker tweeted.
