On the Sports Headlines Podcast with Tony:

1 Barry Bonds, the former San Francisco Giant, once again passed over by the Baseball Writers Of America in his bid for induction into the Hall of Fame. Tony weighs whether the decision is based on Bonds’ treatment of the media or his unknowingly using steroids.

2 During his career, Bonds was surly towards teammates, coaches, and even got into it with former Giants manager Dusty Baker. Did his relationships in the clubhouse also play a part in his not being elected?

3 Bonds was no doubt had Hall of Fame numbers, but the writers who vote said those numbers are tainted.

4 Bonds got just a slight bump up from 53% of the voting in 2017 to 56% this year–well below the 70% needed for election.

5 What will Bonds be most remembered for his surliness or his hitting ability?
