I do not respect Barry Bonds but not because of the steroid issue.
I do think there was a good chance he took steroids but then again, baseball basically allowed steroids in the 80's and 90's because baseball wasn't getting many fans...a lot due to the strike in 1994. Baseball was low in attendance and needed some help so steroids took over and brought the fans back to the game for the long ball.
Anyway, I do not respect Barry Bonds because of the way he plays. If you have watched any of his games, he does not hustle AT ALL. If he hits a ground ball, he walks to 1st. Just today, he was on 1st and there was a double play ball. Most baseball players run as hard as they can to try to screw up the throw. Barry Bonds just jogged to 2nd. There is no excuse for that. You are trying to win ball games. You have to put full effort out there. And don't give me the, "He is getting old" or the "His team stinks" crap. You play the game at 110% and try to win. You don't just try to break a record.
