Willie McCovey says ‘it’s a sin’ Barry Bonds isn’t in the Hall of Fame

Hall of Fame first baseman and San Francisco Giants legend Willie McCovey threw his support behind Barry Bonds on Friday, telling John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle that "it's a sin" the all-time home run leader isn't in the Hall of Fame. That was just part of an article in which McCovey also stated he doesn't want his name attached to Joe Morgan's now infamous letter that encouraged Hall of Fame voters to leave steroid users off their ballots. "I just think it's a sin he's not in there," McCovey said of Bonds being on the outside looking in entering his sixth year on the ballot.
