Social media was sent into a frenzy on Sunday night after MLB announced the shocking results of the Hall of Fame Contemporary Baseball Era ballot.

To the surprise of many, the results revealed that Giants icon Jeff Kent is the lone name bound for Cooperstown in July, while his former teammate and San Francisco great Barry Bonds — and six others — didn’t make the cut.

Here are the votes in full detail, followed by some interesting social media posts about Bonds enduring exclusion once again.

Hall of Fame results: Jeff Kent (14 votes, 87.5%); Carlos Delgado (9 votes, 56.3%); Don Mattingly (6 votes, 37.5%); Dale Murphy (6 votes, 37.5%); Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Gary Sheffield and Fernando Valenzuela each received less than five votes.

The Hall of Fame is a JOKE. One of the best hitters ever is not recognized by the HOF. Way to lose any and all credibility. https://t.co/NxVtIpcrPE

Jeff Kent would not be Jeff Kent without Barry Bonds.

Barry Bonds is no worse than the fifth greatest baseball player to grace this planet. And he’s probably better than that. We’d tell aliens about him as a way to explain the sport played at its highest level.

It’s a Hall of Dubious if he’s not in.

You cannot tell the story of baseball without Barry Bonds. Disappointed, but not surprised with today’s results.

Jeff Kent is definitely a Hall of Fame second baseman and deserves recognition on the day of his election.

But it’s difficult to ignore the elephant in the room, Barry Bonds, falling short again. It’s especially embarrassing for the committee responsible for voting…

No one hit more home runs as a second baseman than Jeff Kent. Now, he’s heading to the Hall.

Barry Bonds received less than five votes, which means he won’t be eligible for the next contemporary era ballot in 2028. He’ll have to wait until at least ‘31 to appear again.

I’ll never recognize the National Baseball Hall of Fame until Barry Bonds is enshrined. You can’t tell the story of baseball without Barry Bonds. https://t.co/5OyOuPeSF6

I can’t take Baseball’s Hall of Fame seriously when Barry Bonds isn’t in it. Roger Clemens is my least favorite athlete ever and he deserves to be in too. Enough. https://t.co/mnK60zAgs8

Shout out to the MLB Hall of Fame for reminding us on today of all days that there are far worse committees and selection processes in sports than the CFP. Helping put life back in perspective. https://t.co/JjYfaJMdrS
