              @quantumkat the combination of peds and domestic violence allegations kept him out.

              If the latter didn’t happen, he probably would have got in. For some reason, the baseball hall of fame considers character for their inductions.

                MLB basically is just trying to forget the 90s and early 2000s

                  They don't want roid heads in the hall of fame because it sets a bad precedent to the young athletes that you need to do it to achieve the things those players did. They just need to acknowledge them and put it in the past.

                    Yeah I disagree. I think it's the MLB trying to act like the PED era didn't happen, which is hilarious because it literally saved baseball, popularity/viewership-wise.

                      Personally, I'm glad he didn't make it. I know others feel differently but guys that took steroids don't belong...

                          Barry Bonds should be in the HoF. Tons of guys were juicing back then. They still couldn't do what he did.

                              Babe Ruth was a racist, alcoholic, woman abusing, massive piece of Shit….and he’s like a God to the MLB suits.

                              But that’s a story for another day

                                        Ty Cobb, first player to be inducted into the HOF

                                        Ty Cobb, first player inducted into the HOF who called a black construction worker a N***** because the worker asked Cobb not to step on the fresh asphalt he had just laid. Amongst many other incredibly racist stories about him.

                                        But…it was when people were cranking their cars from the front to start them up, so it doesn’t count.

                                          @12th Definitely agree Babe Ruth was a shitty person but it had nothing to do with how he performed on the field. I'm not against Bonds as a person just what he chose to do on the field.

                                                If the league was to come down on every player who juiced they wouldn’t have had enough players to even have games in the 90’s.

                                                But that’s a story for another day as well.

                                                  His homers would be substantially less though. Hank Aaron and (most likely) Babe Ruth would still be miles ahead of him. Would he still have been in the HOF without steroids? Probably, but his numbers wouldn't be as god-like

                                                        @rench3373 i disagree, bonds was smackin Shit out the gate. I’m one of the few who believe he would’ve put up those numbers without PED’s and i wish he would’ve known that too.

It got so bad that pitchers would literally go into science labs and make the stickiest things they could. None of them are gonna be kept from the hall because of it.

I definitely see where you're coming from but Bonds went from hitting 35-40 homers a season (46 in the middle of his prime) to an MLB record 73 in his age 36 season. The juice was definitely helping him out.

                                                                                  Ngl, I find his hitting ability given how drunk he was every game fucking amazing. Not many athletes could do what he did with a heavy buzz every game.

                                                                                  Everything else about his character was pretty shitty tho

HOWEVER Bagwell always ingratiated himself to the media, always cordial to media, did charity around the city, and was a tad aloof but nice to his fellow player.

                                                                                    Bonds however was a straight up raging veiny BELL END. This is politics, if you are a shithead and give the BBWA an excuse to remove your legacy, they will.

Two position player, and for multiple GENERATIONS, his Home Run totals were untouched. Shit, only TWO people have topped it and Ruth retired in 1935, and one of those is CHEATIN BARRY and the other is SLEEPY HANK

                                                                                              Barry is the GOAT. I can understand why he will never be in the HALL but from a pure baseball standpoint, Barry was the best before the JUICE and I hold those years as high importance.

                                                                                              Barry Bonds is the best baseballer to ever live, he just so happened to be a late-career cheater and a huge dick. And those two reasons are why he wont see Cooperstown.
