Barry Bonds belongs in the HOF,
a priori

He’s the scapegoat of the mlb. He was amazing.

He didn't do roids? How is he the scapegoat? Are
Plato

I think roids were widespread. Just like Lance Armstrong in cycling.

We should still not reward those who cheated — regardless of who else did it.

yet the MLB won’t take the trophy from the astros...

Doesn't change this argument though. MLB probably should have come harder down

He was the worst roider in history. It completely changed his body and ability

It changed his ability to recover not play

"Roids don't help you hit a baseball better." You sound like the Astros owner.

McGwire, Sosa, Canseco, Bagwell, and Caminiti would like a word 🙂

Mark was nothing without roids. Bonds was amazing before roids.

Wrong, McGwire held the rookie record for home runs with 49

The 33 HR clip and .800ish OPS over the next 5 years say differently.

33 hr a year isn't nothing, that's Dale Murphy numbers and he had a nice

33/year and.800 ops doesn't get you close to the HOF unless you do it for 20 years.
shimmy

Even if it doesn't get you in the HOF it's not nothing like you said
RC Vikings
3/28/20 10:47am
You're correct. He want nothing. Just a forgettable career. And obviously still a great accomplishment
shimmy

Bonds hit 31.7 HR/year prior to age 35.
Gentleman Stan
3/28/20 11:00am
Yeah, but Bonds was a 5 tool player. He had 3 mvps, 8 ggs, and was in the 400/400 club at the same time.
shimmy
3/28/20 11:04am
It's true, and this may be the only time I admit it on CB.

Hank Aaron was a 33 hr a year guy, he just did it for 23 years.
RC Vikings
3/28/20 11:04am
True. And being the iron horse of career sluggers is quite the feat.

Best player of my lifetime. He and Clemens must get in.

Not gonna happen on the traditional ballot. Some committee will do it eventually.

If Ortiz or ARod get in, and not one of those two, I’ll cancel my membership to

Papi is a slam dunk. Which is the stupidest thing ever. How a voter could vote for papi and not bonds defies logic.

I’m not sure Clemens was a HOFer before roids.

I don’t believe pro sports should allow steroid use, however, Steroids didn’t make Bonds who he was. Lots of people
Zach Morris

Roids definitely made Barry who he was post 35. There is before and after data. He was good enough pre 35 to get in the

I took that to mean that roids didn't make BB a HOFer.

As a measuring stick, pre-steroids Bonds was much, much better than than Griffey’s entire career

Roids didn’t hurt, that’s for sure. But lots of guys, even pro athletes use or used steroids and couldn’t sniff Barry’s
Zach Morris
3/28/20 10:30am
Why start going to the level he went to with roids if he was already a HOFer?
Zak
3/28/20 10:36am
Because he was the best and McGwire and Sosa got all the attention anyway
TCuz
3/28/20 10:39am
Because he was the best player in baseball and nobody cares because mcgwire and Sosa were hitting tanks non stop.
