Barry Bonds nominated for the Hall of Fame by 2023 Contemporary Era Committee

Barry Bonds is eligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown New York. He needs 75% of the voting body, which is composed of members of Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee (1980 to present). The committee is made up of other Hall members, executives, and veteran media members. The vote has already been decided. There's a nonzero chance of zero players being elected on the BBWAA ballot. Matt Cain is on it. A-Rod, Scott Rolen, Todd Helton, Billy Wagner, Jeff Kent, Carlos Beltran and Billy Wiggin are also on there.

Albert Belle, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Don Mattingly, Fred McGriff, Dale Murphy, Rafael Palmeiro and Curt Schilling are the candidates the Contemporary Baseball Era Players Committee will consider for Hall of Fame election for the Class of 2023.

Fred McGriff is the ringer. Rafael Palmeiro bombed in front of Congress. Bonds, Clemens, and Schilling are lumped together as too toxic to touch. Belle, Mattingly, Murphy haven't been able to break through.

Barry Bonds is not nominated for the Hall of Fame by 2023 Contemporary Era Committee. Mattingly, Murphy and McGriff are.
