Yes, the dreaded "YABQ".
Some of you are too young to remember, but in 1992 the US Postal System let citizens vote on the upcoming Elvis Presley tribute stamp -- should it represent Young Elvis, svelte and sexy, or Older Elvis, all Vegas'ed out? Young Elvis won in a landslide (see the candidates: http://www.postalmuseum.si.edu/artofthestamp/SubPage%20table%20images/artwork/rarities/Elvis%20Ballot/elvisballot.htm ).
So, when the Hall summons Bonds, what should his plaque represent? Young, reedy, speedy Barry, or older, bulky, Hulky Barry?
(Be entertaining, not mean. Try. And no "Roids Barry's head won't fit on a plaque" lines, it's been done.)

How about a compromise?
I say go with the 1997-8 Barry, a little bulk, but still youthful.
EDIT: apparently I'm the only one not jumping on the easiest bandwagon of all time - hating on Barry. Get a life people, seriously.

Personally, I would go with younger Barry, but in a SF cap, since that's the team he did the most with.
An image of him in the mid 90's would be best.
(as a side not, I really did like the poem though from another answer)

The plaque Bond's (may or may not get) should say:
I had it
Enhanced it
'Cause I couldn't chance it
Injected
Rejected
But still was elected
My balls
Cleared walls
Even tainted fame enthralls
Move over Aaron
Cause Barry's not carin'
Nanny, nanny, boo, boo
I hit more home runs than you.

It should just be a big needle being stuck into an asscheek.

It should be in the shape of a giant syringe.

Should look like a pin cushion. They have a lot in common.
