Will Barry Bonds be in the HOF?
338359
Bonds is a liar, racist, crook and a wife beater. He has absolutely no integrity with intelligent people of character, and no I don't think he will be, nor should be in the HOF. \n\nTo all the bonds supporters, which why you would support him is beyond me: Take a look at his body and stats prior to 1990. He had less than 85 homers and he was well under 200 pounds. Now all of a sudden at the age of 42 he has almost achieved the all time HR record and put on more muscle as he's gotten older? Can you say abnormal pattern to reality and reverse terms then the rest of us?\n\nAre we to believe that he is just blessed with again gracefully and just happens to be superman as he ages? Does he happen to have a tree in his backyard that produces anti-aging and reverse again fruit? Think again!\n\nIt's clearly unnatural and against nature the process and pattern by which he's gone, so clearly he's been juicing. Not to mention yet another wonderful role model for the black community, who is already overraught with wonderful thugs like Ray Lewis that set such a wonderful example.\n\nNo wonder today's youth and minority population is primarily heading in the wrong direction, when they turn on their Tv's and see these types of things, who is essence of action are saying: "Do whatever you want, lie, cheat and steal if you have to in order to win, and if anyone questions you for it, just play the race card".\n\nBonds and people like you that support him are a damn disgrace to the sport, the true classy legends that built it and to the country. Shame on you if you have any.

Pay no attention to the idiots that say no.  Barry Bonds is the best player ever.  Not only can he hit homeruns on command but he solid defensivly and, by the way, the only 600/600 man.  There will never be another Barry Bonds in our lifetime.  100 years from now people will finally recognize a true legend.

Barry Bonds \n\nThe Hall of Shame! not the Hall of Fame.

No way.  If it took him until April 22 to get his first one, he's not gonna get to 40 this year.\n\nAnd by the way, when his name appears on the Hall of Fame ballot, if I was a voter, I wouldn't vote for him any more than I'd vote for Pete Rose.

I don't know, but if there is a Petroleum Hall of Fame, you can bet he will be inducted.

yes, he will.  Tiger is one of those atheletes like Michael Jordan who, beyond all else, is a competitor.  and god forbid he has a reason to be more competitive.  we could see records smashed in the next few years.

First things first:  Intrepid18's answer is moronic.  First he states that Barry Bonds should be awarded the record because we don't know how many people are ueing steroids, then he uses as his source Jose Canseco, thenin the next breath he states that Jose Canseco cann't be trusted.  Geez, with that kind of gymnastic logic it is hard to even respond.\n\nOf course Bonds should not be mentioned in the same breath as Babe Ruth and Hank Aaron.  It makes no difference HOW many players have "juiced up" today.  The fact that a lot of people have juiced up is irrelevant.  The fact that Bonds has juiced up IS relevant because he is the only one challenging the record.  There is little doubt that Bonds will pass Ruth, probably by this time next week, but i don't think any serious sports scholars think he will remain healthy enough to challenge Aaron's 755.  Bonds simply isn't healthy enough to last another year.  He has virtually no chance of catching Aaron this year.  He is currently at 712, which leaves him 43 shy of tying Aaron and 44 shy of passing him.  Bonds is not going to get enough good pitches this season to hit 45 ringers.\n\nIf by some miracle Bonds does pass Aaron his name should have an asterisk next to his name with a note that "performance enhancing drugs were employed."

Bonds is one of the greats - no question about it, when it comes to on the filed performance ONLY, which is how I jugde baseball greatness.\n\nI agree that his hand-eye coordination, natural speed and discipline at the plate are all skills that came without steroids.\n\nHe is not, in my mind, a great HR hitter however, but merely a 500 HR hitter, as what he took helped him make a strong power serge at the end of his career.\n\nIn short, he is hall of famer, but top 20, not 1.\n\nHelper Guy

Certainly not. His numbers as a player are Hall of Fame worthy.

No.  He's a very, very good player.  But very, very good players don't go to the hall of fame.  Special ones do.  He's not that special.  He had 46 HR's last year - but in today's game, that's nothing special.

He became known as the home run king after  passing Big Mac for the single season record of 71 not 73.\n\nSAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds hit his 71st home run Friday night, taking him to a place no player has gone before. Then he hit his 72nd and pushed the single-season home run record even further out of this world. On a night when the Giants' playoff hopes were dealt a knockout blow, Bonds struck back-to-back blows for the history books as he surpassed Mark McGwire's record 70 homer plateau set in 1998 and became the single-season home run king. A game after tying Big Mac for the record in a 10-2 victory at Houston's Enron Field, Bonds ended the suspense on his first at-bat and first swing before a sellout crowd of 41,730 at Pacific Bell Park.

Absolutely not.  Charley hustle, Mr. baseball, Pete Rose is still not admitted into the hall of fame after his conviction of gambling.  Jose Canseco had legal problems.  There are many races involved.  By the way I am on Barry Bonds side for breaking the record.  It is the news media that has convicted him and no one else.  Those who like to read and spread gossip should be ashamed as those who write it to make money.  It is just terrible what the public lets the sports broadcasters get away with.  Lets watch the games and only listen to the media guys with integrity.  The other bums probably could not even hit the baseball out of the infield.  They should be talking to a brick wall.\n\nGo Barry Bonds!!!  Hit 800 home runs.  Some of us really do appreciate what you have done.

he will retire and land in the HOF. He can still pitch but I think he has accomplished all there is it seems and doesn't have much more incentive to go another season.

All time hits king. He deserves to be there,and it's a damn shame that hes not. People make mistakes. If Darryl Strawberry gets a million chances for snorting cocaine over and over again. Pete Rose,one of the greatest hitters ever,deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. Bud Selig is an idiot!!!! I am pissed off now that I have to think hes not in the Hall of Fame.

If he wins Superbowl XL (or any in the future), hands-down Yes, Cowher in the HOF. If he never wins one, he'll retire as one the best to never put on the ring, but I think he still gets in. Two Superbowl trips, some AFC championships and countless trips and most of all (so rare these days), longevity.
