Since there is no proof of steroid use from Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa, why are they being treated like they have been convicted already? The media and the special interest groups are the only organizations to blame since there has been no hard evidence found.

The hall of fame committe will probally make a point and not vote him in the first time but he will be a hall of famer. WHile never found guilty he will always be suspect. The thing is people forget thet he won 4 of the MVP awards before the accusations even came up.He would be best to break the record at home to be able to celebrate it though. All the teams can hate him if they like. But when he gets close they better thanks him for filling the seats every night. Boy would I love to be in McCovey cove the night the ball lands there.

If he is going to the yank League as a DH then he will do it next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days. If he playes interior the national League next 3 hundred and sixty 5 days his physique will cave in from all the injurys, age and all the steriods he has pumped into his physique. As a DH he can basically are available and hit and then chill out off. Im specific the Yankees would be calling! Angels or Oakland could be a greater efficient in effective condition however... purely time will tell

No , NO and NO!!!
Put it this way, regarding steroids - if he never touched them, why hasn't he said so, so that his friend and trainer, Greg Anderson would no longer have to rot in jail for refusing to say a thing!!!!!! Why is Anderson sitting in jail if he's not doing so to "protect" Bonds? And is this fair to Anderson? Is it fair to ANYONE?
Bonds won't break Aaron's record, he doesn't have the proverbial snowball's chance to do so, because the is no pitcher in either league who will give this idiot a single pitch to hit at any time this season.
Of course, all of that will be a moot point if the feds indict him for tax evasion.
The sky is falling on Barry Bonds et al, and I'm NOT Chicken Little.

"Since there is no proof." I guess there was no proof that OJ killed his ex-wife too. You do the math and get back to me.
Bottom line is some people will accept their flagrant steroid use as acceptable and some will believe it tarnishes the history of the game. Which ever crowd feels more strongly will determine what the HOF does. If history is any indication, all will be forgiven and they will each make it.
Sports heroes, actors and politicians all play by a different set of rules than ordinary citizens.

We all will have to reluctantly accept it but we will hear plenty of negative comments about him and against him. He will never be able to enjoy breaking that record.
You must be the only one on earth that needs "hard evidence". It is so evident that they all used and therefore don't deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Aaron, Ruth and Mays. Watch Sammy with the Nationals this season and then come back with your question.

nope, and i still think the single season hr record should have Roger Maris' name put back on it (never gonna happen though). BTW didnt Bonds have a positive test last year and blamed it on a team mate (what a class act)...the first positive is a slap on the wrist and nobody is supposed to find out but it got leaked.Right?

I don't think so. Barry Bonds has been a jerk to members of the media for his entire career. I believe the members of the media he has scoffed at and mistreated through the years will relish the opportunity to discredit any accomplishment he achieves.
And don't forget that the media votes for the hall of fame

He wont break the record, and for that matter i hope he doesn't. he will never go through what hank Aaron went through with all the hate/racial letters. I'll admit, if the guy didn't use steroids congratulations to him. But if he's on steroids i hope he doesnt break any records, or get into the hall of fame for that matter

Absolutely not!! You don't reward cheaters. You don't reward a liar. You don't reward someone willing to let another person (Greg Anderson) do his jail time for him. You don't reward someone who does not respect the fans or the game of baseball. He may pass Hank Aaron's record but he will never be a record holder in the eyes of the public or Cooperstown.

Yes. Sure there will be a lot of protesting and people complaining about the steroids, but in the end, I think the Hall of Fame will acknowledge him as the all-time home run leader. The media, on the other hand, will celebrate his achievement, and then question it at the same time. But what do you expect from the two-faced media? they just care about ratings so of course they'll try to provoke a controversy.
