I don't care about Barry Bonds whether or not he was involved with steroids. The guy is an ego maniacal ****** and a cancer to any team he is a part of.
If you mean would we care about the steroid problem then yes. While records are meant to be broken, they shouldn't be tainted with doubt because one player had an obvious advantage over the other. Whatever needs to be done to knock steroids out of baseball should be done and I like how Selig is handling the problem.

I don't care about Bonds but, I still care about the steroid abuse in MLB. The usages of steroids and corked bats have tainted the image of baseball. This also has us questioning the current records held by Bonds. Bonds was already a good player, but he would not even be close to Hank Aaron's record if it was for the steroids. Sammy Sosa probably would not of hit over 500 home runs if it wasn't for the steroids and the cork. Do we really know how long Sosa cheated with a cork bat. I would guess for several years, maybe even his entire career. Bonds probably corked too, if you cheat with steroids you would cheat with cork. I have lost faith in MLB, I don't even watch it anymore.

I think the fans do care about the use of steroids in baseball whether Bonds is involved or not. I would like to see a playing field that is not tainted by steroids (probably living in dream land) and I would like to know that a record, any record has been come by honestly by ANY player. I hate the fact that Roger Maris had * after his record, and he came by it honestly. What are they going to do keep putting little symbols after peoples names until they figure it all out. This should be worked out and soon, not just because of Bonds but for the integrity of baseball.

I don't know why anyone does care. The guy is still a stud at the plate reguardless the steroids. Most of the MLB, NFL, NBA players probably use or have used steroids at some point in their career. Look at Merriman from the Chargers. This guys was going to win defensive player of the year after testing positive for steroids. Barry has never tested positive for anything. I agree that he probably has done and may still be doing steroids, but at this point there is no proof. Just enjoy the game.

Most fans would still be concerned about the steriods problem even without Bonds because it speaks to the issue of integrity in baseball. This was still rated as the top issue on the minds of fans on a recent sports website poll.
Many fans would still be rooting against Bonds to break the home run record because it is the most famous in the sport of baseball, and he is so unliked even before the steriods issues because of his surley nature.
The Feds would probably not care as much about the steriods issue because they are going after Bonds mainly because they believe he committed perjury and he was granted immunity only if he told the truth. They won't want to put up with being played for fools on such a high profile case that seemingly would allow the rich and famous to get away with breaking serious laws.

I think we would, just given the names of the people who were part of the 500 Home Run Club before the Steroids Era. Aaron, Ruth, Mays, Schmidt, Robinson, Killebrew, Jackson, Williams. With the likes of Palmeiro, Sosa, McGwire and Bonds joining them, it almost cheapens what it means to join the club.
Rafael Palmeiro has more home runs than Lou Gehrig, a guy who played the last season of his career with a degenerative muscle disease and who played in 2,130 sconsecutive games. How insulting is that to the game of baseball?

People would still be bashing Bonds because of his attitude... Period. That's the way we, as Americans are. We criticize everyone who does something well.
When Cal Ripken (the all-american boy) was being celebrated for breaking Lou Gehrig's consecutive games played streak, it was said he hurt his yeam by playing through all those slumps, and holding back players in the minors.
It's just the way it is.

If Barry Bonds wasn't a part of the Steroid issue we would be truly excited and counting down the days and HR's until he breaks Hank Aaron's record. Because he is a part of it he's less than pond scum and is considered a cheater for taking Steroids.

do you mean A part? or apart? Clarify.
And to SOSA guy: Do you realize that Sosa is part of the steroid issue and he corked? Or does it only matter when its not your guy?
