It’s only a matter of time, they won’t be able to keep him out forever. The numbers are just too obscene and he was great long before roids.

Also, regardless of what he was using, his run from 2001-2004 is still the greatest 4 year stretch any athlete in any sport has ever had. His OPS of 1.422 in 2004 is the most mind-boggling statistical achievement ever.

I enjoy the yearly melt from giants fans so I hope it never happens. Yes, that's petty. But I'm only human

Bonds, McGwire, Clemens, A Rod, and Pete Rose all deserve to be in the HOF today.

One of the Greatest hitters of All Time, even if he was on PEDs.
Put him in the Hall.

They fricking better. Him and Clemens. If they have Selig in the Hall of Fame, you know, the guy who introduced an era of steroids in baseball, then why the frick is it a problem for Clemens and Bonds to get in? It's ridiculous.

Bonds is a top 5 (and IMO only 2nd to Ruth) player of all time, he should be in. His era was full of juicers, it was a level playing field, and his stats are still mind boggling

Bagwell? Pudge? Piazza? The roid barrier has already been broken. That’s what makes it hypocritical to keep bonds and Clemens out.

He's arguably the greatest baseball player of all time. It kills the HOF's credibility that he isn't in.

Bonds will NEVER make the Hall of Fame.

Nor should he.

Bonds was good before the roid era, but I’m not sure he was headed for the HOF. He’s an all time great but he’s also a stain on the game.

Vote them in with a confession of cheating next to their plaques.

Make sure it’s huge and signed by players. That’s my compromise.

Bonds is the single greatest hitter ever IMO. It’s criminal that he isn’t in yet. People act like he’s devoid of talent because of steroids. He was proliferating. Can’t say enough good things about him.
