Barry Bonds. Hall of Fame. What are we even doing anymore???? How can a guy who has the homerun record, almost 3,000 hits, and over 500 SBs not be in the Hall of Fame.

“He cheated”

Fuck off.

Roger Clemens. Andy Pettite. Mark McGwire. Sammy Sosa. Jose Canseco. Jason and Jeremy Giambi. Gary Sheffield. Manny Ramirez. Most of these guys were studs. All of these guys used steroids. None of them as close to the talent and skill level as Bonds.

“But none of these guys should be allowed in the Hall of Fame.”

Barry Bonds never tested positive for PEDs. Oh, it also was not on the banned substance list until 1991 and was not even tested for until 2003…. So for the last five years of his career when they tested for the substance, he never tested positive. Injured for one of those years so the other 4 years combined he hit .313 and averaged 36 homeruns… not bad for an old man

Meanwhile… Jeff Bagwell who was speculated to have used steroids just based on the time period… because almost every player was using them!!! But he never tested positive… so yeah he can go in the Hall of Fame. Uh MLB??? Total bullshit. Solid player, yes. All-star, some years. Hall of Fame, no. Barry Bonds won 7 MVPs. Fucking 7. This pisses me off so much. Everyone knew they were taking steroids, it was obvious. Just look at pictures of Bonds, McGwire, all of those guys at the start of their career and then the end.

Whatever. But Barry Bonds is a Hall of Famer and if he never gets on, it’s a shame on baseball and an asterisk against the Hall of Fame’s credibility.

Roll damn Tide.
