And they were both 7-9 WAR players before bonds juiced and became a 12 WAR player

Bonds was slightly better, but let's not get carried away with significantly

Bonds was significantly better. He win 3 MVPs before he juiced. Griffey only got 1. Bonds was a significantly better hitter. Obviously a superior baserunner. The only thing Griffey has is that he played CF.

There has never been a day in the history of Earth that Barry Bonds was not a better baseball player than Ken Griffey, Jr. Bonds basically had 2 careers. His 1st, he was a top 10 all around position player. His 2nd, the greatest offensive player in any sport ever.

Tough to compare across sports but I don't think there's any way he pulls this off

Fun fact: Griffey only had four 7 WAR seasons during his entire career. Bonds had nine 7 WAR seasons in the '90s alone.

Jr. had a video game.

Jr. was the WAY BIGGER STAR THAN BONDS.

Bond's had a who? Some Pirate?

Bonds entire popularity is after we know he was juiced ...1997-2007.

Before then he was the Pirate who couldn't throw out Sid freakin' Bream.

Jr not being unanimous for the Hof should disqualify any voter from ever voting again.

Idc if the excuse is that they knew he was going in, by saying that you're saying you acknowledge you'll only have one chance to vote for one of the most talented players of an era and you're choosing not to. You should not be allowed to vote if you don't vote for a clear first-ballot Hall of Famer.

Brian Jordan was probably the best at the 2 sport thing... meaning equally balanced to playing football and baseball. He didn’t get the marketing to support his abilitie


Equally balanced makes him the best? He was a journeyman baseball player and had a cup of coffee in the NFL. Not in the same league as Bo, who was an all time great talent in football and legit star in baseball too.

Charlie Ward was probably more "equally balanced". Doesn't make him the best.
