re: Barry Bonds: It would mean a lot to me to make the Baseball Hall of Fame

Baseball had no PED enforcement policy before 2003. IMO, there's no justification for baseball writers punishing players like Barry Bonds for taking steroids before 2003, just like there's no justification for them punishing players like Willie Mays for taking amphetamines before 2003.

And there's no justification for using steroids and expecting baseball writers to ignore that when voting for the Hall of Fame, regardless of what anybody else in any era did.
So I guess it'll be put to a vote.

Yes there is. Steroids had been banned by the MLB since 1991.

They were illegal, so yea there is. Baseball played its own part in it by ignoring what was going on, but bonds hubris attitude of not confessing what he did is his own fault.
