I cannot understand why in the world the sports writers and such are on a band wagon to rail this guy. Yes he maybe very difficult to approach and he has an attitude. Lets face it though for all those who want to deny his right to the hall without a stupid asterick. The man broke the record period. Nothing was ilegal at the time of him chasing the record. With other players in history having huge problems with alcahol and drugs and beating there wives no one looks at them. I think the writers and annoucers are hypocrytes

You have a point. The fact is he is a jerk to the media and fans and he did take an illegal sustance to improve his body. Whether it was banned by MLB at the time or not is not the issue, the drug itself was illegal in the US.
All that said, I agree, some of the people that are in the Hall have questionable morals (see Ty Cobb's racism, Babe Ruth's lifestyle), and some other were railroaded (Joe Jackson did NOT throw the 1919 series with a .375 average), but there is nothing we can do about it!

What approximately all the pitchers who Bonds faces that have been additionally on steroids? could those pitchers get all their strikeouts and wins taken away? cheating replaced right into a lot greater widely used in the time of Ruth's time, nevertheless no longer unavoidably in this form of steroids. various different infamous cheaters have not have documents/stats taken far flung from them, why could Bonds? Examples: Albert Bell (and Sosa for that rely) and his corked bat; Mike Scott scuffing the baseball ('86 Astros), Gaylord Perry doctoring maximum baseballs he pitched with (he trusted the flow of his pitches to get batters out. all and sundry knew he replaced into doctoring balls, no you may capture him nevertheless). do no longer overlook John Mcgraw, who concealed balls in the outfield and watered down basepaths, between different issues. all the gamers suggested above acted in techniques that unquestionably affected the end results of the video games which they participated in - the precendent has already been set the place maximum cheaters in baseball get off with little better than a slap on the wrist (Pete Rose being the obtrusive exception together with his exclusion from the HOF). at the same time as Bonds' checklist could be tainted (we don't understand for a reality), it fairly is absurd to set forth the thought his documents be revoked by way of fact of his movements. If that have been to ensue, then the league could be consistent and eliminate all of Mcgwire's homers, Perry's wins, Ty Cobb's stolen bases (undergo in recommendations those sharpened spikes), and likewise eliminate the dual's 1991 international sequence victory (Hrbek pulling Ron Gant off the basepath and taggin him out), and so on...

about his home run record, it's going to be broken soon more than likely by A. Rod so i really don't care about that, however, his career is so good that no matter if he took steroids and whatnot, you still need a lot of skill to do what he has done. I personally don't like Bonds, but i firmly believe he should be in the hall of fame and nobody should bother about his breaking of the home run record.

Steroids are against the law even if baseball had no specific rules against it. Being an alcoholic and beating your wife don't help you play baseball. The cream and the clear do. And before you pull out the pathetic "he never tested positive" argument, of course he didn't, the cream and the clear were specifically designed to beat drug testing. That's why he used them. And in his grand jury testimony, he never denied taking steroids, only "knowingly" taking steroids. He is a cheater and shouldn't be honored as the home run king.

Nobody's denying him the right to anything. He's made the choice not to enter the hall of fame if they display his asterik home run ball. And the ball has been branded. He's thrown down an ultimatum, not the hall of fame. If he wants to set conditions the hall has every right to reject them. And if Bonds wanted to be judged solely on his performance maybe he shouldn't have enhanced his performance with ILLEGAL DRUGS! He made his bed, let him sleep in it.
