Hall of Fame first baseman and Giants legend Willie McCovey said he wants to see Barry Bonds join him in the Hall and contests Joe Morgan’s letter encouraging voters to reject players linked to steroids. “I just think it’s a sin he’s not in there,” McCovey said of Bonds, the ex-Giant who holds the single-season and all-time homers records. “If anybody deserved to be in the Hall of Fame, it’s Barry.” Bonds is on the ballot for the sixth time after receiving 53.8 percent of the vote last year. Votes cast by the Baseball Writers’ Association of America are due Sunday, and 75 percent is required for enshrinement. On Nov.
