Barry Bonds Sent To Limbo Like McGwire?

As of this point in time no action has been taken against Bonds by MLB. Until such time that MLB takes action, and it may never occur, Bonds will be on the HOF ballot in 2013, and that is assuming he never plays again. Once he is on the ballot those sports writers who have a vote will have to make a decision on an up or down vote. They have the right to cast their vote either way without giving an explanation as to why they voted one way or another. At this point in time, and given what Bonds is going through, I do not think he will get in on the first ballot. However, time has a way of softening the hearts of many people and I believe we will see Bonds in the HOF at some point in time. It really makes no difference if he is in or out, we all have the ability to come to our own conclusion as to how we feel about him.

I agree with the Dodgers fan, even though I'm a Giants fan! He's a real die-hard baseball fan because he could care less about what the players ingested, injected or rubbed into their bodies. That's their business because PED's have never been proven to aid athletes except in cases of traumatic injuries and infections when tissue and muscle infection and inflammation occurs.

The only proven things that steroids and PED's do to the body that is wide spread are the bad things, and they are:

Tighten and define your muscles to the point to where you cannot throw a baseball or swing a baseball bat. (Barry and Clemens are flabby and not solidly built or cut like people that abuse steroids)

Lessen and diminish your eyesight to the point where you cannot see a high speed ball pitched to you or the target of a strike zone. (Never saw either Barry or Roger wear contact lenses or glasses due to diminished eyesight)

Diminish your psyche and make you prone to depression and anger induced rage so that you would constantly miss check-in time at the ball park or miss transportation to and from away games, would always fight with teammates, have an attitude that would keep you always calling in sick and always sulking or crying for no reason. (I've never seen either Barry or Roger display any of these behaviors nor have they been reprimanded for missing planes or being late to the park)

It will make you extremely sick and you would definitely die if you are a PED junkie, fiend or abuser, like the media tends to call them and some members of the public believes because they're gullible and can't stand the truth.

Why would Barry end up in limbo when it's the decision of the federal government and not MLB's or the fan's call after the perjury trial?

He definitely deserves to be a first ballot Hall of Famer. You could make an argument that the big redhead doesn't deserve the Hall. Certainly, he had few numbers besides power, and was never more than an adequate fielder. Barry though, was the real deal. Power, average, OBP, Gold Gloves, SB (40/40 club anyone?). He played the game so far above anyone else's level it wasn't even funny. If he isn't a first ballot HOF, then it would be a travesty to the sport.

Of course if they won't let Pete Rose in, then they might not let Barry in. The two people that deserve it more than anyone else, regardless of indiscretions. The Hall is to enshrine the games greatest players...instead we have underserving players making it in (Jim Rice anyone?) while the best of the best end up on the outside looking in. No wonder the Hall has become such a joke.

This coming from a Dodgers fan, so I'm highly biased against Bonds, but even so, Bonds is a first ballot hall of famer. I don't care about the steroids thing, mainly because even without them he would have hit 600 HR and been in the 500/500 club. Actually, without the roids he may have continued to run and gotten himself 600/600. I hate Bonds. I think he's a cheater, I think he helped to compromise the integrity of the game, but his stats are deserving.

I think he will get into the Hall of fame, but it will be awhile before he does it.

i have never recognized any of these so called records he owns. Roger Maris is the single season HR king with 61 and Hank Aaron holds the all time HR mark at 755. i think just about the only organization outside of San Francisco that acknowledges Barrys marks is ESPN ...... and they dont care about reporting facts. they are the exaggerated opinion not based on facts channel.

lol @ the race card being played. yes ..... just like Whitey railroaded Hammerin' Hank ... right? Hanks 755 are legit .... Bonds has about 500 legit. Bonds is a cheater, period ..... end of discussion.

is Limbo a small town in Iowa?

i think Barry Bonds is a lying cheating idiot

it's because he's rich. us regular people have to drive to teh courtouuse in a regular car but he gets to use a limo.

Whites have been after Bonds for years.. The HOF oh hall of shame has more bigot, racists, and KKK members than a night out behind the old barn,,,,they have spent millions chasing him.. and now they have finally railroaded him.
