Should he? I don't think so, at least not right away. Will he? Yes.

Allowed? If he buys an admission ticket, sure.
Inducted as an honoree? That, eventually, is up to the voters, and compliance with Hall policy on eligibility. Bonds' eventual candidacy, I think, cannot be denied. He'll get a plaque. He has earned it.

"head three times bigger, feet grew two sizes in one year", sounds like a paul bunyun story. Last time I checked, the hall of fame didn't pay Barry's bills........What 'is' the hall of fame anyway, I don't need it to tell me who was the greatest of all time.

Yes. No asterisk on his plaque or in record books are needed because he took drugs when they were not banned or illegal. That is not basis for disqualifying him from induction.
He may have difficulty for his true crimes, which are tax evasion and perjury (lying) to the grand jury about BALCO, who changed their name on their storefront and cut ties with Barry. It's up to the law about what they would recommend his punishment would be.

Pete Rose isn't why should he be. I mean at least he didn't cheat. HOF voters are so stupid the probably will put him in. If he hadn't taken steriods then yeah he all ready had a HOF career but now I have to say no. Sorry Barroid Bonds.

Oh yes. Even before his apparent PED-enhanced HR surge he was having HOF seasons -- that 's what sets him apart from McGwire and Sosa. His era was marked by PED use, including (especially?) by the pitchers he faced. He is clearly the best player of his era and clearly deserving of HOF status whether or not you believe he was the true hitter that Aaron was.

yes. obviously, steroids were used rampantly throughout major league baseball for the past 20 years, and we will never get the truth as to who cheated and who didn't. so you have to take the best players of the era. and barry bonds is by far the best.

Yes because there are probably players in their now that cheated. We don't know. But all this makes me appreciate player like Craig Biggio and Derek Jeter more.

Yes. At the same time, hell should freeze over! If you allow this cheater into the HOF, then let's allow Pete Rose and the 1919 Black Sox in too. Make it fair!

i think he should because even though he took steroids he is still black and you dont see many black people makin history now adays. except for ricky henderson, jackie robinson and hank aaron, their are no blacks in the hall of fame, you have to go a long way being black and most blacks don even want in because they use to be restricted from it in the first place.
