• Bonds with steroids: HOF

It’s funny how they have proof of other cheaters in the HOF but that’s not enough to let bonds in. Hilarious

Anyone who played in that era (85-2005) must be under suspicion. The fact that they put Big Papi in, who tested positive, and leave others out, is a disgrace. If Bud Selig is enshrined, why shouldn't everyone else be?

They are straight up wrong about the race. Bonds is in the same boat as Clemens, who is white. Schiling, who is also white. This isn’t a race issue, it’s stubbornness by the entire writers committee.

I think it's a joke that Jeff Bagwell is a hall of famer when his best friend Ken Caminiti who played with him and was his training partner was admittedly a steroid user and Bagwell was suspected as well. Plus Bagwell was never the one of the best players in his era

This is why these nerds who never even whiffed playing collegiate sports should not have the power to determine any of this.

Barry Bonds is the only 500/500 man ever! The only player with 7 MVP awards! 2x MVP runner up! 8x gold glove winner! The most intentional walks ever! Twice as many as the next guy. Bonds was a God, like Ruth...but way better than Ruth! Bonds had two seasons with 200 walks lol and both of those seasons hit .362 and .370. Not to mention his home runs reign of all time and in a single season! Best WAR ever for a position player! Most walks all time! he would easily have 3300 hits if not for all those walks! 14x all star! 3rd most runs scored ever! 6th most rbi's ever! Would have easily had 2400 rbis if not for all those wlaks. 2nd most times on base ever! All that power, but also more than 500 stolen bases! 78.4% stolen base percentage for a power hitter!

HOF committees be like “he had 37 MVP’s, won 80 titles and broke every record, but we didn’t choose him because ..he was a big meanie 😢 and he called me ugly in a press conference”

Barry Bonds was 5x better than Big Papi and 50x better with the Glove. Big Papi juiced as well as Bonds. Along with thousands of other players. MLB knew it was happening and let it slide. Then they changed and decided to punish the greatest players of a generation. Barry Bonds is far and away the best baseball player of the last 40 years and it isn’t close. AA players, College players, Single A, KBO Players all have taken Steroids. When you assume everyone is on them what are you supposed to do. This is all on Bud Selig and he should have been barred from the HOF before any player ever was. MLB commissioners doing what they do best destroying the game.

Regardless of where you stand, Bonds was never officially caught cheating. Look, I’m not blind, I saw how much he physically changed later his career like everyone else.

The Hall of Fame is incomplete without Barry Bonds.

They somehow weeded race into this discussion when Ortiz was literally voted in first ballot. I think bonds should be in but it’s ridiculous to play the race card. McGwire isn’t in. Neither is Canseco.

Steroids didn’t make him a great player. It is an asterisk in his career but it should not have prevented him from getting in. Tragedy really.

They really declined Bonds for 10 years but accepted Big Papi, who also abuse roids, in his first year smh

managers should be caught up in that mess too not just players

It’s insane that some of these people will dismiss an entire generation of players because they don’t like steroids… you can dismiss it but everyone was doing it… being willing to wipe out an entire generation of players is asinine.

I started watching baseball in the spring of 2020 during corona, I’m from Britain. I was bored so I went on YT and there was a recommendation to watch the final game of the 97’ World Series, I sat there not knowing what was going but I was instantly hooked, I myself love cricket which is also a sport played with a bat and ball. Anyway I started researching, learning the ins and outs of the sport, who are the best players of all time, already knowing Babe Ruth a household name around the planet. Soon after I stumbled onto Barry Bonds name and then I saw his highlights on YT and his career achievements. This guy is the greatest player to slug post World War 2 no doubt about it, his numbers before the PEDs were HoF worthy, in an era where everyone was cheating he still tore them up. PEDs don’t enhance you’re hand eye coordination or your ability to pick a pitch, everyone who doesn’t want him in the HoF are jealous that Barry Bonds was still producing unreal numbers at a time when at least 90% of players, including pitchers, were on the juice. If they believe the PEDs enhanced his game so much , why haven’t his contemporaries got similar numbers as him, one reason they simply weren’t as good as him. Barry Bonds the GOAT. They can keep the Cooperstown Plaque, Barry Bonds is the illest player to walk on deck.

Barry Bonds all-time rankings:

Barry Bonds is the best baseball player to have ever lived. The fact that he's not in the hall of fame is why I don't watch MLB baseball anymore.
