Who's more hated, John Rocker or Barry Bonds?

Question

in all of baseball.

Answer 1

I find it weird that people hate Barry Bonds and/or John Rocker at all. Barry Bonds was and is a great baseball player. Even without the steroids, he was a shoo-in HOF'er. With more evidence, it seems like more and more players were on the juice. What if we found out Pujols , Griffey, or another fan favorite was on it or was found to be on it? We'd let them slide because Bonds is perceived as a media hater and they're not.
John Rocker had an opinion and let everyone know about it. If everyone went down the street telling their opinions, there'd be a lot if fights. The difference between these two and you and me? They're in the spotlight. We're not.

Answer 2

My answer is who cares? Rocker isn't in the league. The media hates Bonds because he doesn't do anything to give them a big story except for keep his mouth shut or say he didn't take steroids. And as far as I'm concerned he's never tested positive for steroids. People argue because he became bigger and to them they think it's steroids. Hmmmmmm I don't think so anyone seen the movie Ali? I dont' hear anyone accusing Will Smith of taking steroids by the way came out in the same year as someone stating look at his numbers in 2001! Will smith Gained 35 pounds to get to 220. Hmmmmmm could it be possible it's called hard work in the weight room? Probably what the real reason is yet everyone assumes steroids.
The most hated in Baseball are the Yankees every single player.

Answer 3

I think it is a disgrace that Bonds could pass Hank Aaron as home run champion when it is obvious to most fans that he took performance enhancing drugs and continues to deny it. Look at his physique and numbers in 2001 and you will get the answer. John Rocker won't be remembered 50 years from now; Bonds will. I'm a Braves fan and I hope Bonds falls short of Aaron. If he has a career ending injury prior to breaking the record, it wouldn't hurt my feelings.

Answer 4

interesting question, Rocker alienated all minorities with his blast, showing his ignorance...Bonds alienated all baseball fans except for those in old pac bell park...do you think there would be any fanfare about all this if he wasnt about to break the most cherished record in all of sport...no, of course not...but this is where we are with this...Barry is not thin skinned or he would have cracked by now...the fact of the matter is, he doesnt care how many people hate him, he is still drawing a check and he will still hit 30 homers or more this season, they will sell out wherever he goes and the only person that wont be there for sure when he hits 756 is the Commish...so a really good question would be, when is Pete going to be allowed to get voted in...many have forgotten just what kind of ballplayer he was...

Answer 5

Barry Bonds. What the first answerer said.

Answer 6

Rocker was perceived as an ignorant bigot. Bonds is hated by many as almost evil, and for compromising the integrity of the game's most hallowed records. A pox on him.

Answer 7

John Rocker admits he took hormone growth stuff and that hes a jerk but Barry Bonds keeps lying that he hasnt took steroids. EVERYONE KNOWS Barry Bonds and no one will stop hating him until he dies or at least admits he took steroids.

Answer 8

Bonds--he keeps denying everything. Rocker knows hes a jerk and isn't afraid to show it. Bonds knows he cheated but say she didnt do it on purpose...ya, im sure

Answer 9

Bonds by far. He is a cheater who might break the most coveted record in the sport. The guy is getting death threats! I hate the guy, and my team isn't even in the NL. We never even play him! I also hate the Giants for continuing to play and pay him. I think all pitchers should throw at his head all year and never give him a ball to hit.

Answer 10

Easy, Bonds
