Barry Bonds......

[Russian Crushin]

He got narc'd out in testimony. Never failed a blood or urine test. It was the track athlete samples that started the whole thing IIRC.

Im pretty sure he failed the tests that were suppose to have been kept a secret which arod and 124 other players failed in 2002 I think

[-jose-]

a hall of famer.

no doubt.

respect your opinion...

He was already 400 + homers, 300 stolen bases in before all the controversy began.

So, yeah. I'd say he was "pretty good".

I have never seen a hitter in my lifetime like him, though, in the "roid" stage.

Probably the most feared I have ever seen.

also respect yours...but like you said he was "pretty good" before the roids...not "awesome" like he is remembered by many...

[BERNIE'S CORNER]

It's more than likely the combination of steroid use and media run ins will keep him out of the Hall.

He went from a stick in Pitt. to a massive dick in SF. (Is what it is.)

No denying his #'s or his abilities with a bat in his hands but the steroids puts a huge asterisk on those #'s and abilities.

Imo Baseball and it's owners are more to blame than anyone said player.

So when you throw Bond's name out there I not only think steroids but the hypocrisy of Baseball and its owners.
