Bonds told a U.S. grand jury that he used undetectable steroids known as "the cream" and "the clear," which he received from personal trainer Greg Anderson during the 2003 season.

Make a decision about the steroids policy, it's really taken over the game the last 18 months. I would say:\n\nSteroids were taken by many players with many records.  There is no way to know who did and didn't use them in the past and even if we know for sure it's not fair to punish the people who admitted to it or got ratted out when there are plenty of people who didn't get caught.  There is a long line of cheating in baseball from stealing signs, to the spitball to "energy" pills.  We now have a policy in place to test for both steroids and "energy" pills.  I don't see any benefit in investigating any past steroid or in putting an asterisk next to any records.  It will be up to the HOF voting members to decide if any specific player meets the standards of the Hall of Fame.

Bonds had his "best" years during his steroid days and long after most players retire. So it's not just HR production, his Avg was affected as well. Steroids are not the only issue. Bonds is under huge scrutiny now as he approaches records. He also is suffering from the bad press because of his steroid usage. Coming off a year of not playing is hard, when your well past the age or retirement for most players it's more so. So for Bonds to kick the steroids, recover his timing and battle both age and the press it's likely a bit too much for him. If Bonds had any class he'd retired rather than come back this year. He was busted for steroids but hadn't passed any cherished marks that he wouldn't have passed without steroids yet. Bonds could have quietly been just another steroid user and gone to the hall of fame. His coming back this year threw his cheating in people's faces.\n\nAs for people coming to the park. The biggest and best fan draw is a winning team. HR hitters are fan draws for losing teams. If a team is winning the fans will come. The loyal fans come no matter who is on the roster. The folks who show up for a Bonds like player are rather few actually and don't come for long. Especailly today when everybody hits home runs. It's not like the days of Ruth when there were 3-5 people in all of baseball who could hit 30+ home runs. There are that many players on single teams today with HR totals like that. The HR is losing what draw power it had pretty quickly.

Also don't forget that Babe Ruth was an all-star pitcher for the first 2 or 3 years of his baseball career, so bonds hasn't matched anything in my mind.  If he can go out and win 20 games in the next 2 or 3 years pitching the baseball then he may have matched the record. Even at that he is a steroid using cheater.

Barry Bonds is better.  I don't know the statistics but I know that Barry Bonds (according to my dad) was a good young player in the '90's and he was skinny.  He was able to play well and just didn't get that much attention, that's all.  I would say he is a better player because he would've passed Babe Ruth's record even without steroids; it's just that now that everyone knows he took steroids to get attention, he looks bad.  He also to most people looks like all his home runs came from steroids, but 'tis false in my opinion.  He just wanted attention for being big and powerful QUICKLY, so took the short way and did steroids to have immediate attention.  He is still a better player, but just made the wrong choice.  He could've begun to get attention when he was getting closer to the home run record; he already was the sole member of the 400-400 club (400 home runs, 400 stolen bases), and eventually he would've gotten attention and been inducted into the Hall of Fame for his accomplishments; THEN everybody would see how great he was.  But now it's all negative attention.  I repeat, though, that Barry Bonds is a better player.

Barry doesnt deserve the record. He isnt even worthy enogh of an asterisk. Barry Bonds is a cheater and should be band from the game with his stats from 1999 - 2004 erased. If you ask me, Barry Bonds was an amazing player and when he started BALCO he destoyed himself. was $7,000,000 not good enogh for him, he needed steroids so he could make more? I will be booing all the way, if he cries, I'll laugh. He will beat the Babe, but lets see him get 300 more home runs without drugs, win 95 games, and use crappier bats, ball, walls 500 feet away, and do it drunk. The Babe is better than Bonds, he has more home runs in less games, that should be the only thing you need to determine whose better. Along with a batting average of .342, I mean c'mon.

Yes he is. He admitted it to the grand jury that he took "something", and thought it was flax seed oil.\nHe is a cheat, not only with the steroids, but with the armor he wears on his elbows, allowing him to lean into every pitch with no fear. \nMy advice - walk him every time. That way he breaks no records again.

I feel that the whole MLB is tainted and that it doesn't matter anymore what Barry does because steroids are everywhere. Major League Baseball is "trying" to fix the problem while all they are doing is just looking the other way while a player is juicing.\n\nPlayers are probably juicing right now as we speak without any consequences because Major League Baseball doesn't care. The MLB is a business. People come to watch, buy merchandise (jerseys), and want to see the players that can hit the long ball. MLB turns the other cheek to players that do steroids because the ones that are hitting the long ball use them.\n\nSteroids is tarnishing the history of the game, but is what will keep Major League Baseball alive in the future. People today love controversy and the long ball (both can be acquired by steroid use.) If Bonds starts hitting home runs again I'm sure people won't hate him as much as they do now.

This question is redundent. They're aren't any hard facts saying he did. But you had have been hiding in a closet for the last 7 years to not say he bulked up, and so on and so forth. However it's speculation. I presume he did, along with the rest of the steroid squad i.e, Sosa, McGuire, Palmero, Brady Anderson(where is he), Luis Gonzalez.

Just remember the asterisk *.  715 home runs* \n*= Used steroids.

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

Yes, it's like a deal with the devil. Barry Bonds got a boost in power but he had to give up years of his life for it. Even though he has stopped taking them, the steroids still will play an effect on his body. He knew what he was doing, but I guess he thought breaking the all-time homerun record was worth it. He'll be sorry in about 10 ti 15 years.

I dont think he uses steroids.And i love watching him play he   is by far the greatest baseball to ever play so everyone should embrace the fact that we are fortunate enough to watch him play. Enjoy it while you can because he wont be around much longer

Who is Barry Bonz?\n\nIn all seriousness, there is no proof that Bonds used steroids. Did he use them? Probably. Did he use them at a time when they were banned by major league baseball? Probably not. If he explicitly took something that was against the rules of the game at the time, then he should be punished. If not, he was merely playing the game as it was allowed to be played. \n\nOn a sidenote, don't forget that Babe Ruth doesn't hold the record, Hank Aaron does. Babe Ruth is now tied for second all time with Bonds, and Bonds has a long way to go to get to Aaron's record. He'll retire before he gets there.

OF COURSE!!  I love the St. Louis Cardinals and Albert Pujols is the best player who hasn't been suspected of steroid use!!  HE's even one the best players compared to those who did use steroids!!
