Why do people only remember the great hitters who used? They forget that pitchers also used and they forget that mediocre players were using too. Some people (like Bonds, and some others) started using after they saw that MLB was looking the other way for years and they were suddenly getting equaled or outperformed by lesser players.
@@mcdonoghrahloh459 Race bait much?? Clemens isnt getting some kind of pass because hes white considering him and Bonds are equally hated and get the same vote totals every year.
Brooklyn he had 400 and 400 while not reaching his full weight which is crazy. Nobody ever did that and he easily would’ve made 500 and 500 without steroids unless he had injuries
No of course not. But they take his talents into cartoon levels. 73 HRs man? The career record too? So Babe Ruth, Hank Aaron, and Roger Maris mean nothing to us? Nope sorry. If he'd remain clean he'd be a shoe in. He chose his path so he shouldn't get in. We gotta draw the line somewhere.
steroidsR4losers bonds was playing in an era where 90% of the league was on roids...and he still dominated. He is the GREATEST home run hitter of all time buddy, whether you like it or not, it’s true.
If you disqualify the hitters who used, you also have to disqualify the pitchers who used. Everybody blames the all the players who used, but *MLB is to blame for letting it go for years.* They profited and nobody really cared until hallowed records started getting shattered.
Greyareas27 no one cared until someone started talking about it. I wouldn’t doubt that bud selig was the one setting all the shit up. Then when Canseco brought it to light he ran with his tail between his leg.
@@austincartwright1870 you're so right..No one cared until congress got involved and Selig had to give the public something.So he throws some of the all time best players under the bus as to not taint his legacy as a commissioner..Congress wanted heads and Selig delivered for them thus a lot of people made millions of dollars off of this kind of baseball and it brought baseball back with the long ball but once hallowed records fell those cronies in D.C. had to butt in and take control and screw things up as they normally do..
He was definitely taking Steroids in 1999 and after. But that is not what he should be remembered for. From 1986-1998 he was a Hall of Famer. He was and still is the only 400/400 player.
Bonds has done things that no other juicer has done. 2nd in career WAR. Most career walks. Most HR in a single season. Top 5 hitter 12 of 17 qualifying seasons. At least let him plead his case for the HOF. It's a free country with freedom of speech. At least let him try?
Then remove Ivan Rodriguez from the HOF. In his book juiced, Jose canseco injected I Rod in 1994 on the rangers with steroids. So why can’t Barry go in then?
Bonds was like the Kobe of MLB. You loved him or you hated him. He was booed at every opponents stadium but yet, all eyes were always on him. And when he left, it wasnt his fans who mostly missed him, it was his haters because they knew they were never going to witness a player like him ever again. Bonds changed the game. He was must watch TV. What a legend.
That 500/500 Will NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER IN THE LIFE OF THE UNIVERSE EVER EVER NEVER EVER NEVER NEBER EVER EVER BE BROKEN. NOT EVEN CLOSE.
When you watch Bonds highlights, it feels like you're watching something that you'd see in the movies... Never will you see someone do the things this dude did ever again, not for a hundred years.
He could do it all, a 5 tool player, even before steroids. He was so fun to watch especially in Pittsburgh because he was carrying the team with defense, clutch hitting, speed, and getting on base. It wasnt all about homeruns in Pittsburgh. And he had one of the coolest swings and batting stances in the league, which I imitated as a kid growing up. I miss 80s and early 90s baseball, basically my childhood.
Look people. Just because he took roids , doesn't mean he's not deserving to be in the HOF. Sure he wouldn't be as good if he didn't use roids , but he was still a great player. Just because he took roids for a few seasons , doesn't mean he was amazing throughout the rest of his record breaking career
Thomas Falco would he have broken those records with the roids? Would u be saying that if he stayed averaging 15 hrs and batting 249 at the end of his career?
The point is not "he only got those stats because he cheated" The point is " he cheated therefore shouldn't be honored" It's kind of like if your girlfriend cheats on you after 5 years. She might have been the best girlfriend you ever had prior to that but once she cheats on you you will have 0 respect for her for the rest of your life and those 5 years no matter how awesome they were just don't matter.
You people forget Barry Bonds has never tested positive for steroids so on that fact alone he should be in the Hall of Fame everybody keep saying he's test he tested steroids Barry Bonds never tested positive for no steroids so I'm very long he is a Hall of Famer
Hes def a HOFer and one of the best ever...I have him at 4 in my top 5 hitters. However his 2000/01 to 2004 numbers just dont make sense. He had thousands and thousands of at bats and never hit Hrs that frequently, or hit .370 or walked that much, and all at age 36 to 40. Getting that much better at 36 and becoming the greatest ever just doesn't make sense....I use his rate stats at the end of 99, and project them out....he has 600 something Hrs and a much longer OPS. Still one of the greats and def a HOFer but dont tell me he didnt use steroids
Barry deserves the hof. He was and still is the best most consistent hitter in the MLB. He had that murderous swing way before any" pump you up". People always judge but the man isn't o.j. Simpson he did a lot for baseball
After his 715 homer. The crowd wouldn’t let the game go on until he came out a second time from the dugout for another standing ovation. If that doesn’t highlight “FAME” in Hall Of Fame… idk what does
Ok...it occurs to me that most society either has too much fluoride in their water or they're just flat out slow...so read this carefully: He NEVER failed a drug test. ALL charges were dropped against him. He was NOT mentioned in the Mitchell Report. All of that is aside from the fact that not only did he have HOF numbers BEFORE he got to SF, they weren't just hitting stats. He's a multiple gold gloves winner. 7 time MVP, 14 time All Star, has a sizeable amount of steals and has 1000 more walks than whoever is in second place in the record book. You don't want Barry Bonds in? Then include all the Negro League records. But nah...that's too much like right too. Smh.
McDonogh Rahloh Show me proof that every single allegation of Bonds taking any form of PEDs (including his own admission to the grand jury) has been proven false. Show me. I already know he never tested positive.
I’ve been to Cooperstown. I’ve seen the Pete Rose memorabilia. I’ve seen the Bonds Memorabilia. If they don’t want to give players like this, a plaque, well, they have to live with that. We all know they deserve it.
Why does everyone compare the two? Rose is the one who broke a pre-existing rule against gambling, he knew getting caught meant being banned for life. I think that's stupid too though, they both should be in the HOF.
Actually, these are not the reasons why Pete rose isn't in the hall of fame. Of all things, tax evasion made him a federal criminal and that's why he can't be inducted.
Best Player in Baseball period ... nobody can come close to this man .... Who gives a fuck about the hall of fame anyways Barry is better than everyone in it 💯🔥
he was a hall of famer before roids, the roids just made him the best ever and that swing is just so perfect the backspin is unreal ball just soars forever if the writers decide to keep him out of the hall it will be an absolute travesty
I was all for keeping Bonds and Clemens out until Mike Piazza and Ivan Rodriguez got voted in. Those two had the same damn cloud of PED use hanging over them, so if they got voted in there is NO excuse to keeps Bonds and Clemens out. Put them in.
If one of the greatest hitters/players to play the game doesn’t make the hall of fame, then the hall of fame is a joke. When few players were juicing, he was a multi-MVP. When almost everyone was juicing (including pitchers), he was a multi-MVP. Most dominant hitter since Babe Ruth, plus he played D and stole bases. Hall of Famer 100%.
I mean, after the commissioner of the MLB, look the other way with the Houston Astros Petros and Barry Bonds and Mark McGwire definitely HoF players in they should have their spot.
He gets in, no matter how much those PED-years tainted the latter part of his MLB career. Seasons he had all the way up to 1998 (last time he was reportedly clean) make him an automatic 1st-ballot candidate. Would've gotten to the 500 HR/500 SB mark anyway without the "BALCO-assistance" (lol).
Barry could've taken roids in a pirates uniform. But roids DO NOT GIVE YOU HAND EYE COORDINATION, Barry was born with that talent, sosa, McGuire, there was a lot of great hitters. Look back at what they did for the game, they were heroes and mlb allowed it until the cba. Long live the king homerun champion BARRY BONDS
I believe that bonds is more than enough talented to get into the hof, but I believe the Hall is a place for people who played by the rules and didn’t resort to gaining an unfair advantage.
I WANT bonds in the HOF. The problem is that it would cause a lot of commotion and every single juicer with great stats would need to be let in, including Mcgwire, Sosa, Canseco, ect..
Darkkefka the only thing with that is Barry Bonds never failed a steroid test and he said he never knowingly took steroids so we don't even know if he did even though it's a possibility he did but still it's not proven so he should definitely be in. Maybe the people that got busted for steroids like Jose Canseco that admittedly took him his whole career. People like that shouldn't be let in even though I like Canseco. Everyone make such a big deal about these steroids like they're the worst people alive but I tell you what if I was in the big leagues and was trying to get a contract I tell you what I would definitely have taken steroids. The only thing sad is if Barry Bonds did take steroids that he was a great player before he took steroids and would have made the Hall of Fame already just like Mark McGwire. So my opinion is any person even if they were suspected of taking steroids if it's not proven or admitted then they should be in the Hall of Fame if they're voted in. That's just my opinion
Scott Chism Please stop with that "he never tested positive" BS. I think he should definitely be in the Hall of Fame but that argument is laughable when we all know he was juiced
Scott Cartwright You moron, I explained that there is no way to prove it 100% but it's not that hard to look at his numbers and the way his body changed. Use some common sense
It's so easy to tell when he started taking...tbh, I think he deserves the HOF cuz of that exact reason...unlike a lot of the other drug users...he started after he already had HOF numbers...I hope he gets in
He had the best vision of any player to play the game. He could get the bat on any ball in the zone. Whether a nasty curve or a 100+ fastball he wouldn’t miss it. Steroids may have given him a bit extra power. But they didn’t give him that amazing vision. Also, let anyone else take steroids. And they still won’t hit more home runs than he did. Steroids may have played a part. But no one has been as good as him
Bonds and McGwire should be at least in the ballot but Sammy Sosa? No way. Where was he before June 1998 when he hit 20 homeruns in a month? He wasn’t a future HOF SLUGGER before and then at AGE 30 joins the race. McGwire held the record for rookie HR record for 30 years. He also hit 30 or more the first four years. First player to do that. Skinny Bonds could hit opposite home runs. He was consistent and if he was clean still could have hit 500 HRs. But Sosa? Where was he in 1997? I remember more of his throwing arm than his bat. Obviously suspicious. Corked bat or PED.

If Barry had just stayed clean he'd be a shoe in. But we have to have some standards. If Griffey lost so many years off his career because he wanted to remain clean. Then it'd be unfair to him and so many other guys like Don Mattingly too to just let the confirmed steroid takers in.
Absolutely his stats say it for themselves. So what if he used steroids half of the league at the time used it. So your telling me A-Rod isn’t a hall of famer or Albert Pujols they both used steroids.
He was still skinny when he hit his 400th home run! He set a category that hasn’t been matched yet AND he got to 500 and 500
I don't care what anyone says bonds had the best swing in baseball...this man will always be a HOF player in my eyes
Mike DeRosa The MLB Hall of Fame Is a joke anyways
Until Bonds Clemens Sosa Rose and many others get in the HOF can't be taken seriously
I can't think of a cool name I been saying the same thing man.
WOW IN YOUR EYES YOU SUPPORT AND TEACH YOUR KIDS THAT CHEATERS DESERVE RESPECT

L bonds fans lol “best player of all time” just hush it honestly
Shoulda been a yankee his entire career might have 7 or 8 rings if he was on those 1990s Yankee teams. Steroids or not, greatest player of all time
If he gets in I might start watching MLB again. Haven't since 2008.
He deserves it.
Barry was 7 time MVP , if you’re telling me he used steroids for 7 years straight and didn’t break down even in his 40, I know that’s a lie
He should get in. Had hall of fame numbers before the steroids unlike Sammy Sosa
Brooklyn there's players who took peds all throughout the game,
Sammy Sosa was not found guilty either. He’s one of the best right fielders man.
Brooklyn he had 400 and 400 while not reaching his full weight which is crazy. Nobody ever did that and he easily would’ve made 500 and 500 without steroids unless he had injuries

I believe that bonds is more than enough talented to get into the hof, but I believe the Hall is a place for people who played by the rules and didn’t resort to gaining an unfair advantage.
But a lot in the HOF took steroids not just Bonds
A lot of players in the HOF were using roids too not just Bonds
I WANT bonds in the HOF. The problem is that it would cause a lot of commotion and every single juicer with great stats would need to be let in, including Mcgwire, Sosa, Canseco, ect..
Darkkefka he was as good as those clean as they were juiced
Darkkefka the only thing with that is Barry Bonds never failed a steroid test and he said he never knowingly took steroids so we don't even know if he did even though it's a possibility he did but still it's not proven so he should definitely be in. Maybe the people that got busted for steroids like Jose Canseco that admittedly took him his whole career. People like that shouldn't be let in even though I like Canseco. Everyone make such a big deal about these steroids like they're the worst people alive but I tell you what if I was in the big leagues and was trying to get a contract I tell you what I would definitely have taken steroids. The only thing sad is if Barry Bonds did take steroids that he was a great player before he took steroids and would have made the Hall of Fame already just like Mark McGwire. So my opinion is any person even if they were suspected of taking steroids if it's not proven or admitted then they should be in the Hall of Fame if they're voted in. That's just my opinion
Scott Chism Please stop with that "he never tested positive" BS. I think he should definitely be in the Hall of Fame but that argument is laughable when we all know he was juiced
eric garcia prove it were is ur proof
Scott Cartwright You moron, I explained that there is no way to prove it 100% but it's not that hard to look at his numbers and the way his body changed. Use some common sense
I miss that bell and foghorn
🐐
There's Barry GOAT Bonds and then there's
The MLB Hof & Pete Rose, Sosa ,big Mac,Clemmons the list gos on smh
It's so easy to tell when he started taking...tbh, I think he deserves the HOF cuz of that exact reason...unlike a lot of the other drug users...he started after he already had HOF numbers...I hope he gets in
steroids or not that was hard to do. no injuries. he should be a hof
He had the best vision of any player to play the game. He could get the bat on any ball in the zone. Whether a nasty curve or a 100+ fastball he wouldn’t miss it. Steroids may have given him a bit extra power. But they didn’t give him that amazing vision. Also, let anyone else take steroids. And they still won’t hit more home runs than he did. Steroids may have played a part. But no one has been as good as him
And here it is 2022 and still nothing lol
Bonds and McGwire should be at least in the ballot but Sammy Sosa? No way. Where was he before June 1998 when he hit 20 homeruns in a month? He wasn’t a future HOF SLUGGER before and then at AGE 30 joins the race. McGwire held the record for rookie HR record for 30 years. He also hit 30 or more the first four years. First player to do that. Skinny Bonds could hit opposite home runs. He was consistent and if he was clean still could have hit 500 HRs. But Sosa? Where was he in 1997? I remember more of his throwing arm than his bat. Obviously suspicious. Corked bat or PED.
In this country, people apparently hold their baseball players to a higher moral standard than they do their political figures.
Baseball allowed steroids to go on , its not steroids that made bb the great hitter, he had that swing as a Arizona sun devil
I forgot about the 400/400 stat, That's something

Pete Rose better be the man handing him his place in line then. No Pete Rose no Barry Bonds.
Dean Gness Pete threw games!
If Barry had just stayed clean he'd be a shoe in. But we have to have some standards. If Griffey lost so many years off his career because he wanted to remain clean. Then it'd be unfair to him and so many other guys like Don Mattingly too to just let the confirmed steroid takers in.
Absolutely his stats say it for themselves. So what if he used steroids half of the league at the time used it. So your telling me A-Rod isn’t a hall of famer or Albert Pujols they both used steroids.
Richard Hickman They were caught multiple times?
Rahloh McDonogh so who cares if they were caught. If they put A-rod in Hall they surely need to put Bonds
