Lol they ban him to this day but want people to forget about the astros

Bonds can't get into the HOF. However, the acting commissioner who oversaw this whole mess, Bud Selig, IS in the HOF. Go figure.

[RobWillNotLose]

When Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire were hitting home runs out the parks. Baseball knew they were juicing, but they were making them money. They bail out MLB. Same for Bonds

[leftbenchplayaa]

What’s sad is that there’s definitely players in the HoF that did steroids but were never caught.

[rrui]

both Bonds and Pete Rose belong in the hall. Bonds eye at the plate was unreal

[tielmaster]

Barry bonds can't get into the Hall of Fame.

But Astros keep their title and players keep their rings.

Yup I've changed my mind on bonds.

Ken griffey jr smoked all these fools in the hr derby while they were on the juice

[IamMarkSmith]

Pete Rose deserves to be in the MLB Hall of Fame. It’s time to let the BS stop. He earned his stats without any influence and was one of the best players of his time.

[mchammer]

Barry B my favorite baseball player of all time. When he use to wear the high top nike spikes when he played for the pirates he was the str8 truth!!!

[bretburner]

Barry is the best baseball player I've ever seen, with or without the juice. He was a HOF player already.

[drewmeyer]

Didn’t he have 3 MVPs before the steroid accusations?

[calebdavis]

Barry bonds was one of the greatest regardless. Skinny Barry, steroid Barry, blackberry, blueberry, bonds is one of the goats

[blackcobra]

Mark McGwire winning the ESPYs for MLB player of the decade (90's) over Ken Griffey jr. & Barry Bonds is a crime itself

[vascularfellows]

Bonds made baseball fun to watch again

[jordan]

Sammy Sosa a legend for showing up with the interpreter 😂

[nobodylovesme]

You’re right baseball still took the money from the fans to watch Barry bonds

[HiHello-wzbx]

What the Astros did is 10x worse then what Rose, Sosa, Bond or McGuire did but the punishments dont match

This is ridiculous

[anthonyclay]

Bonds and Mays are the two greatest players I ever saw. Also Clemente, A Rod, Junior Griffey, Ricky Henderson, Pujols. All of them belong in the Hall of Fame!

I haven't watched baseball as much as I did when he was playing since he left and I'm not a big fan. Put him in. He's a legend
