Is anyone upset Barry Bonds might not set foot in the Hall of Fame?

..if they display his record-breaking ball with an asterisk? I'm just all broken up. :-)

    I think it is great because the more Barry talks the more his foot goes down his throat. I mean talk about 'ME, ME, ME.' To all of those who bring up the matter that Barry did nothing wrong then tell me if there is nothing wrong with it why doesn't Barry admit to steroids. Hmmmmmm?

    What would also be cool is if they put Barry in a special room all by himself with an huge asterisk above the doorway as one enters.

    See this is the question of all baseball questions. Barry Bonds sticks to the story that he did not take steroids. The evidence clearly points to him taking it but even if he did, Bonds was a hall of famer before he took steroids and was one of the best speed-power players of all time. I believe he deserves to be in the hall of fame and it would be a shame if he were not remembered. I however am not a fan of Barry's but i do believe that he is a tremendous talent and should be in the hall of fame. I also believe that Barry did nothing illegal because he took steroids before they were banned. Now this does not mean that i think he will end up in the hall of fame because lets face it, Barry comes off as a real ***hole with no respect for the game. But the reality is, the baseball hall of fame is for the best of all time, and Barry is clearly one of them

    no way im not upset that barry "the steroids" bonds might not set foot in the hall of fame..why should he..everyone knows he has done it and he knows himself..if he gets in the hall it would be a mistake!!..the people in the hall of fame now deserve to be there..why would the hall of fame want a cheater in there..it would give the hall of fame a huge black eye if they do cause they would be accepting that cheating is alright when it's not! and the so called record breaking ball is going to be displayed there..it was already sent to them

    Once more he puts more value on himself than anybody else does. Not only don't I care that he will boycott the Hall of Fame, I don't even think he should be in it. His "record" should have a huge asterisk if it is recognized at all.

    to-iwantthe- best ever, you have to be kidding!!

    Hmmmm???...lets see, would I rather see the ball sitting there with an asterisk or bonds elected?.... neither actually, but if I have to choose..... then definately the ball (with an asterisk, of course)

    Well honestly. Ima huge Bonds fan and i think it will a horrible, horrible thing if basesball does not let bonds in the HOF, even more so if he gets 3000 hits next year. As of right now, he is the best to ever play the game. Now A-Rod or Pujols could pass him, but he should be the hall no matter what.

    He deserves to be in the HOF no matter what. There are hundreds of players who did and are still using! He is the greatest HR hitter of all time .No matter how much you pump up, you still need to see and have the talent to hit the ball!!!!!

    Hell yeah I'd be upset becauswe mainly NOTHING has ever proved he's done anything wrong! Plus, I every era in baseball players have found ways to cheat players used to use speed to enhance their proformances, pitchers have used spitballs, chorked bats, etc.

    No. He has taken steroids. He has said if he has taken steroids he has unknowingly taken them...bs. Look at the difference in him from the Pirates to the Giants in one off season. His knees can't work without steroids. Mark that ball up and don't let him in the Hall.
