No!!! Barry Bonds should not be banned from baseball. First off, people first must admit that it is a bit of a witch hunt going after Bonds. How is it that players such as Clemens and Pettite get named from the list that was recovered from Jason Grimsley, but no investigation is being sought in that matter? On September 30, 2006, the Los Angeles Times reported that Grimsley told federal agents investigating steroids in baseball that Houston Astros pitchers Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte were users of performance enhancing drugs and that Baltimore Orioles Miguel Tejada, Jay Gibbons, and Brian Roberts were users of quote 'anabolic steroids'. Clemens has how many Cy Youngs? Seriously folks, witch hunt.
Once you get past that, take a look at the amphetamines that were used throughout the 60's and 70's. They were in candy dishes in the locker rooms for crying out loud!! Do you understand the term "dog days of summer?" These amphetamines were used regulary to keep players energized "up" during the tough times in August and September. Perhaps the times when a player should be having a day off, he just pops a couple of "uppers" and is ready to go. If an amphetamine using player gets a game winning hit, it is JUST as bad as a steroid using player that gets the same it, and you know it.
The same year Bonds hit 73 home runs, Luis Gonzales hit 57 homers. His previous high? 31!! Arizona won the Series that year. What made Gonzo so special that year, and did that impact the title?
If you are a fan of the asterisk, you're going to need a whole lot of them and start going back through time.
No, Bonds should never be banned from baseball, get over it.

I can't say I like Barry Bonds, but you can't banish him until you have proof, which the MLB does not have. If he does manage to finish his career with the HR record without being caught, I think that there should be an asterisk by his name whenever and wherever he his in the record book. That way, people would know that he was accused of using steroids.

Unfortunately steroids saved baseball. Remember McGwire and Sosa both breaking Maris' single season HR record? It brought fans back to the game. Both the owners and players union knew what was going on but became deaf, dumb, and mute. Whether Bonds or any other cheater deserves a record is moot. Baseball will honor the cheaters it has created due to its own GREED!!!!! Remember, MLB only enacted stricter drug standards because if they didn't, Congress was going to do it for them!

Bonds, McGuire and Sosa are all first class cheaters. Their name in sports should go down with the likes of Ben Johnson. They are a blight on baseball and everyone trying to better themselves the right way through hard work.

a million. B, in spite of the certainty that he and Roger Clemens as cellmates does charm to the significant League in me. 2. probably A. 3. in step with what I even have heard from Buster Olney and Lee "Hacksaw" Hamilton who're individuals of BBWA, in no way. 4. D. I in no way incredibly liked him. yet in ninety 8, it became Bonds vs. McGwire interior the homestead run race and Mac had the media and the often used public at the back of him. As I keep in mind, there became a beanie toddler mentioned as Mac the Cardinal and yet another for Sammy the Cub. there became no enormous headed beanie toddler for undesirable Barry.

No, but only because it would actually be worse to have "Barry as victim" than "Barry as recordholder". The whining he would do would make his fellow BS'er Pete Rose seem downright silent by way of comparison.

If he gets convicted for perjury and tax evasion, they should take action; they could suspend him for a season, which might effectively end his career. But outside of that. it'd be hard for them to all of sudden start banning players after years of turning their heads.
