He was never the best hitter. And he is a cheater. Just like Sosa, Canseco, McGuire and many others. See this is what you don’t get. The substances Bonds and others used weren’t around when Hank Aaron set the home run record. They were kit around when Ruth hit 60 home runs and drove in 158 RBIs. These substances were not around when Ty Cobb hit .400 in back to back years.

When you cheat it sullies the game of baseball. It forever tarnishes whatever you accomplished. Bonds deserves zero credit for whatever did after he started cheating. And he never deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. If Pete Rose can’t get in then neither should Bonds. Pretty sad that you have the attitude oh well because some other guys cheated donut was ok for Bonds. lol. Give me a break.

Where do we draw the line on cheating? Babe Ruth tried sheep testosterone to give him an edge. Numerous players including Aaron tried Greenies bc they believed it helped their focus/hand-eye coordination. A form of steroids was rampant in MLB in the late 60’s/early 70’s according to pitcher Tom House. Pitchers have doctored baseballs since the beginning or time. We had the sticky stuff scandal not too awful long ago. Many players have been caught with doctored bats. Astros stealing signs and the list goes on and on.

Including AD White or the same people that pressured the hire of Coach Harper?

I truly believe White is the sheriff now for all sports. Now, I don't think Kara will coach here because I don't think CKC is going anywhere anytime soon. But I doubt she has beef with White and I think White would overrule the others if we needed to hire her.

If you remember everything going on around that time with the lock out!..Sosa,McGuire and Bonds saved MLB baseball mainly Sosa and McGuire and for that they get a pass from me and deserve the HOF as a result in my opinion..regardless of the perspective..during all of this I was a young pup growing up playing baseball every weekend traveling and putting in the work every day on my mechanics throughout the week because of these guys..begging my parents to buy their merchandise from gloves to bats and even the arm bands…

I wanted to be everything Mark McGuire,Sosa and Bonds were, dominant hitters.you can say it was the roids but I’ll choose to accept it as their mechanics and baseball IQ..things that can’t be bought…after Sosa was caught with a corked bat moving forward I questioned a lot about him and as his career played out that was the only stain on his legacy in my eyes so that could definitely be discussed but that’s a small microscopic stain on his career as a whole…same conversation can be argued for Pete rose his case had zero to do with baseball (as a player)

Bonds deserves it just as much as McGuire…old heads are the only ones claiming they don’t deserve it,mainly talking piece TV host who never picked up a bat for a reason…but ive yet to hear anyone who faced them say they don’t deserve it and that speaks volumes to me…

Were you only two feet tall at the time? Or were you VietCong-ing it in some subterranean tunnels? I was having trouble picturing where you and your friend were hanging out having snacks for hours

The plywood boards were 24” wide and 3’ long. You had to crawl or belly crawl to get through it. It was Summer and We were bored at 10 and 8 years old. We were both pretty small so could easily get through. Once we trapped the bullies in there, we pulled up lawn chairs to enjoy their demise. 😎
