let me rephrase this. Bonds IS the GREATEST EVER. look at the numbers. his stats are ridiculous
2007-10-20 12:40:32 · update #4
Yes without a doubt. The proof? 762 hrs and 514 stolen bases. How many great sluggers out there managed to steal that many bases? none!

Best steroid user ever. Sorry, but I did read the post and you cannot mention Bonds and not have a say on the steroids issue.Same with McGuire and Sosa. The sad thing is, Barry was destined to be great without the help of steroids, but he chose to take that path and has to answer for it now. He will not be a first ballot HOF, but will get in soon enough.Ty Cobb, Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, Ted Williams, Pete Rose, all great also and each comes with some baggage.

He certainly would be up there but with the PEDs and the personality and the negative outlook and the temper tantrums and the lack of a ring I could not care less.
Ruth was headed to the Hall of Fame as a pitcher before the Red Sox decided he'd be better as a regular in the everyday lineup. He was. And he was the BEST.

You can't just ignore steroids - although Baroid Kool-aid drinkers would like too. Before 1999 when he started using he was not even in the running for best ever so he can NEVER be best ever - he cheated - he took a bus to win a marathon - you Baroid drinkers sacrifice honor. You cannot leave cheating out of a discussion about Baroid.

To me Barry Bonds was the best untill the steroid allegations took place, after that I do see him as a cheater, but there is no doubt that he is one of the most dominating players to have ever grace the great american game.

He's the best of this ERA.
Too hard to say best ever, baseball has changed. You can argue for too many players as "best ever."
Ted Williams for instance, last guy to hit .400 in a season, and look at the hits and home runs he accumulated considering he MISSED 5 seasons due to fighting in two wars.

No. One simple reason. If you go by home runs, he had far more at-bats. If you take his amount of at-bats, and compare this to Babe Ruths, he had far more. So many more, that if Babe had always been an outfielder, he would have had over 1000 home runs, a surreal number.
