I will have more fun with this when I get home from work. But I will leave with this tidbit.
What Bonds did was not cheating and against the baseball rules. There was no testing and no written rule in baseball that you were not allowed to use steroids. Now you can say it was illegal, fine but you can be a total drug addict and only get suspended a season and get reinstated 20 times.
Was it unethical? Yep. But baseball has never been an ethical sport with stealing signs, corking bats, spitballs & greenies. So why start now?
I will say this if your career was made by the Home Run during the steroid era you aren't getting in. McGwire, Canseco, Sosa & Palmeiro should not get in. But Bonds was deserving before the home runs and the only thing he did was ruin the reputation of what could have been a legendary baseball player.
While I don't like Bonds, I respect him as a great player and everyone is missing the boat on a great athlete steroids or not.
