Tuesday BP: It’s Hall of Fame day

Hello and happy Tuesday.

Today is the day that the 2021 baseball Hall of Fame class will be revealed, and it looks like we won’t see a single player chosen to make the museum. Which means that, among other snubs and silly omissions, it seems that San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds will be rejected for the ninth straight year.

I’m going to wait until that’s official before I complain up one wall and down the other. Just wanted to give you all a heads up that it’s coming.

It’s Hall of Fame day. And with every passing year, that day seems to represent that we shouldn’t care much about the Hall of Fame anymore.
