Here's just a few records from Barry Bonds-the first 400-400 player (400 home runs and 400 stolen bases), first 500-500 player in baseball history.
set the single-season mark for walks, the first player with over 200 in a season and ending the season with 232.
holds almost every major league record in existence for intentional walks.
first player in history with more times on base (376) than official times at bat (373)
finished with a .609 OBP, the only time a player has bettered .600 over a full season.
he hit his 734th home run off the Brewers' Chris Capuano, thereby passing Aaron for the NL career record
set the single-season home run record, hitting 73

for those who says that he did use steroids (prove it), its only been out for like 2 1/2 years and that he was and still is in the 400/400 club and 500/500 club before the ACCUSATIONS.

There is NO question.
Bonds IS a Hall of Famer.
I love how people STILL act like he's the only one that may have used enhancers.
(Also, isn't it humorous that the worst spellers tend to be the haters?!?!? Could it be that being educated helps one to understand the depth of the performance enhancing issue?)

Saying Bonds didnt use steroids is like saying MJ didnt get plastic surgery.
And since he did cheat and has an effect on games, he should get into the HOF. If Pete Rose cant get in because he bet on baseball (Not even his own team) Bonds should get in for actually effecting the outcomes of a game. The MLB is very bad right now with this steroid and HGH issue. If they can get Grimsley, why cant they get Bonds, it obvious he used it. Just a disgrace. But the game right now is getting played like it should in these playoffs, with the exception of the New York teams, who pretty much bought their way into the playoffs.

Screw him and his cheating @ss. He should be banned. At least Pete Rose didnt use enhansors. I say since the day he started useing to now the records should be whiped clean. And he was not a Hall of Fame shoo in at that time.
Hes been a bad person and bad things should happen to him

I think he should. I just feel like we will never know truly how long he did well in baseball from the cause of steroids. I love him. It sucks, but I still think he is a great player.

Yes, he is the best slugger of our area better than McGwire because (Mac has the same charges against him) and Bonds has put up better numbers during that peroid.........he has to be in the HOF

If their were no accusations he would most definitely go to the HOF. It will be interesting what the happens when he is eligible.
