thereby restoring the record to Hank Aaron? And have all games which the Giants won by only one run become ties?

Sorry it's not true what some people are saying that people do not get better with age. Jorge Posada had a career year in 2007 and Jamie Moyer had some of his best years as a pitcher as he got older. In 2001 and 2003 he one over 20 games in those years.
I think it's too much a burdensome task to wipe away Bonds homers because then you will have to take away his hits as well and then team stats, wins and then do it for every other player, et cetera. Those years should be marked as questionable but I still think he should go to the HoF.

ok...I can see where you are coming from with the HR's but the games seems kind of rediculous. It would take way too much time/effort to go back and see which games the Giants would have lost if Bonds had not had homered. Besides what would that accomplish, you can't like go back and redo the 2002 postseason just because the Giants were in it and may not have been if Bonds was not on steroids. Besides winning games takes more than just Barry Bonds. Home runs don't. He can do those by himself

Barry Bonds is the biggest sham to ever hit Major League Baseball, look at this guys stats, NO PLAYER gets better as they age. Whoever said he wasnt juiced was an IDIOT! Not only should they take away his records and restore them to Aaron, they should throw his @ss in jail.

Only if they wipe away the numbers put up by anyone named in the Mitchell report, the BALCO affidavits, Jose Canseco's book, etc. They'd also have to put asterisks next to Hank Aaron and Willie Mays (for doing greenies) and Babe Ruth (for not having to face black pitchers) in the book.
Revisionism is always stupid and this isn't going to happen. Bonds was far from the only juicer, in fact he came late to the scandal - and all the ire directed his way wouldn't exist if he hadn't been so unpopular to begin with. You people are sheep.

No. I don't think they will take away the record but there will be stories to go along with it how it was obtained. This will taint Bonds forever. I doubt it now if another team will ever sign him and I doubt he will make the hall of fame. He deserves just what he did.

Damn right! Bonds has been an embarrasment to MLB for the past 5 years and now they caught him! I really dont think baseball was going to recognize those records until this entire steriod probe was cleared up anyways. Now I dont think Bonds has a chance in hell.

No.
Baseball has never done that before.
It won't do it here.
Nobody will forget the Barry Bonds story.
There is no need to wipe away records or to use asterisks.
MLB should not and will not do so.

Uh...Yes...except for the 1 run games...just the ones that were a direct result of Barry...He didn't win them all for the Giants...and they shouldn't lose those...

I think they should strip him of all his individual records. He is such a jerk and has ruined the sport for many fans.
