Barry Bonds not in the Hall of Fame

-
@quantumkat so stupid. This guy is one of the sports’ greatest EVER. It’s just a battle of politics
-
-
Too bad alot of popular guys from the 90s won't make it in
-
@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.
-
Nigga had dudes waiting on boats for his home runs lmaooo he was a demon
If Brady can make it to canton Barry should make it to Cooperstown
-
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

@12th how dare you

Facts how dare he say those heinous things about our fellow negro brother
-
First black player in baseball
-
He wasn’t chastised by fellow players calling him nigger lips for no reason
Nigga took bill bojangles everywhere he went
Stayed in the “black” clubs In harlem
Only dated black women

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.

Yup

@rench3373 steroids don’t give you better eye sight. They also don’t slow the ball down.
-
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
-
So I guess this mean it’s over for a Rod as wel
-
@ogxsuave his daughter told the NYT that the mlb blackballed him from becoming a manager after he retired because he was gonna sign black dudes.
-
@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.
-
@ogxsuave oh he was never gonna get in. He used peds after they cracked down on it.
-
Lmao I never heard that shit about babe Ruth lmao that's crazy
-
I don’t know if you guys currently watch baseball, but pitchers have been blatantly cheating for years. 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.

We can agree to disagree lol. 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.
-
@nd13 yup

There were so many fucking no hitters this year. Shit even Arrietas decrepit ass got one. Gerrit Cole is the biggest cheater alive. MLB isn't gonna do a damn thing about it
-
Barry didn’t have the normal tried and true decline. Fuck he got better as he got older. Dude was a juicer AND a raging asshole.
If you’re gonna be a jerk at least don’t cheat. If you’re gonna cheat at least be nice.
-
@rench3373 In the words of the great Ricky Bobby
-
@12th Alright I'll give you that
-
Ty Cobb a bitch coming from casual Tigers fan.
Look up his sliding controversy if you haven’t yet lol
-
@sssnaps Jake arrieta didn’t pitch a no hitter this year lol. And they did do something about it. They now check pitchers after every inning. But I don’t think the umps are gonna keep doing it.

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

Well being dirty is better than having dirty BLOOD.
IN FAIRNESS
Bagwell juiced and made the hall so, if all things equal Bonds should be in. 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.

Babe Ruth was inducted in to the hall of fame the year Jesse Owens clowned hitler at the olympics.
Also, Babes mythos has been crafted due to his extreme outlier type of play. 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

Hahahaha CLASSIC moment

Hitler was BIG MAD

Now, personality and juice aside,
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.
