It is Jeff Kent’s tenth and last time on the ballot. He was on 32.7% of the Writers’ ballots last year. He was in the mid-teens until 2020, jumping to 27.5% and 32.4%.
I think he’s borderline deserving, but if he went into the Hall and Bonds didn’t, I’d chew off an arm.
Kent had an excellent 17-season career that started with the Blue Jays. We traded him to the Mets for David Cone in the middle of his rookie season. We can’t complain...
