What would happen if barry bonds hit like 50 homers this year? Would people respect him then?

Answer 1

he has to respect the fans more if he wants respect he has to repsect the game more to earn more respect the fans..so he will never have mine unless he does that

Answer 2

I'd like to ask the name callers:

1. How can you prove Barry Bonds cheated without any positive test results for steroids?

2. Define "cheating in baseball" in mature terms and not in elementary school language.

3. Prove that Barry Bonds "disgraced" baseball, and how does one disgrace a professional sport without any positive proof of steroid use.

4. Why are people so hung up on Barry Bonds? Just because he's high profile and about to break a record, does that give people the right to wrongfully accuse him of using steroids?

5. What would happen to the name callers and childish "fans" when Barry Bonds retires after he breaks the record. Who will they pick on and accuse of wrongdoing next?

I totally respect Barry Bonds because he has not been proven guilty of using steroids. I believe he may not hit 50 HR's this year, but will break the record definitely.

Answer 3

i love reading the answers to these questions and you can see who is the real baseball fans and who are just imposters that like one team or player. the cards fan has the gall to call out the person above her for saying bonds is the best hitter in the game and then goes on to say that hitting homeruns doesnt make you a great hitter. you are right but you also prove you know nothing of the game or the game history. bonds holds two batting titles. bonds holds the all time record for walks and has the single season record for walks breaking his own record many times. if you watched his games you would also notice bonds is very seldom fooled at the plate. he is the best period. For the person that said bonds acts as though he is doing us a favor for playing the game. He is!!! you think he needs the money??? nope. He plays for the love. He plays for the tradition, his dad willie. Anyone that knows the game and truely enjoys what real baseball is all about may not like bonds attitude sometimes or his personality, but you got to love his performance on the field. He is the greatest so enjoy the show.

Answer 4

I think people have wanted to hate Barry Bonds for much longer than this recent steroid accusation. Now that they have reason, hitting 50 home runs with a 1000 negative steroid tests isn't going to help. He's the guy everyone loves to hate.

Answer 5

not a chance. I totally agree with GoKu. Assuming I look past the baseball side of things. I have never respected him from the minute he started play with the Pirates. The guy is a poor excuse for a human being. He is rude to children at card shows (experienced his rudness first hand in SF at Moscone card show 15 years ago), he beat his wife, and was in trouble with the IRS as well. Why should I respect somebody who thinks they are above the law and thinks they are god's gift to baseball. Baseball is a team sport and should be treated that way. it is not about any one given player.

Answer 6

It's not about the numbers, It hasn't been about the numbers for Bonds since '98. It's been about being a pharmaceutical stew and nothing else.

Will people respect him then? Absolutely not. He'd have to start by respecting himself and as long as he pumps that garbage into his body, he 's not doing that. Even if he were to stop, as long as he refuses to admit what he's been doing and keeps his friend, Greg Anderson, rotting in jail, he still won't be respected in the least.

It's time you took the orange-and-black-coloured glasses off and really looked at this.

Answer 7

No! Once you violate the integrity of the game, it's over! Richard Nixon committed countless abuses of his Presidential power, so he gets no credit from history for ending the Vietnam War -- 4 years after he promised he would. Likewise, it doesn't matter if Bonds hits 74 homers this year or tops 800 for his career: HE CHEATED! He is what George Orwell called "an un-person." And anyone who cheers him is approving of what he did to get where he is.

Answer 8

He doesn't respect the fans. That's why I don't respect him. He also used steroids so he cheated to get a lot of the home runs he has on his record. I think he should be ineligible to be a contender to break any kind of record because of that. He can keep hitting home runs and "break" the record but I won't consider him the record breaker. He cheated, he doesn't count. ...And the guy who answered before me says he is the best hitter in the league?! Are you kidding me? Hitting home runs doesn't make you the best.

Answer 9

no longer merely did he upload 25 pounds of muscle after the age of 35 (that's meant to be close to imposable) yet his head have been given greater effective actually. His hat length grew. one element approximately getting older is that there is often bone loss. i locate it atypical that McGwire isn't voted in on hypothesis and allegations. He hit forty 9 homestead-runs his rookie twelve months! on an identical time as Barry will make the corridor of repute, and he has examined helpful for steroids two times!

Answer 10

Let's just say hypothetically he's clear of the allegations aside form the short time he admitted to using.

Barry was considered a jerk long before any of this stuff came out. He gave baseball and it's fans the impression that he was doing all of us a favor by playing the game. Talk abount an ego!

Answer 11

No, because as far as I'm concerned he's still using dope. Major League Baseball is afraid to get rid of him because too many people come to the ball park just to watch this fake hit the ball 5 miles while on dope. The ones who think he's clean are in denial !
