New Report: Joe Biden Left Grieving Families Waiting for Three Hours Prior to Dignified Transfer of Kabul Bombing Victims ¡ª While He Napped on the Plane 

If every hitter in MLB took the same roids as Bonds, would he still be the champ? Probably not. 

Probably would. Most hitters AND pitchers were juicing in that era. Bonds was just the scapegoat. One common misconception about juice is that it magically makes you stronger. It doesn't. You still have to put the work in. The thing tbat separates Bonds from other power hitters is his eye. Look at his BB:K numbers compared to other power hitters. They're astounding.

I think if the kid stayed healthy and juiced, he would definitely have the record but outside of that, naw. None of these guts hold a candle to Barry except maybe ARod and he juiced. So did Big Mac and Sosa. So did ace pitchers of the era like Clemons.

Has anyone heard from Bonds lately?  Espn would cut to his at bats and you wanted a splash down kayakers to fight over the floating ball.

Weird his head grew like the grinch's heart, but Arod didn't see any growth per J Lopez.

So many great player names from the Balco era.  Stunning

It was the rejuvenation of the game, and look at it now.  So many rules, too many rules

Let Pete in already

Let Pete and Barry in . And Clemens . and all of the others that truly deserve it that played during the steroid era . Like “ greenies “ weren’t a thing .

But fuck that Rafael Palmero son , cuz ain’t nobody wavin’ a finger at me that many times with such fervor unless it’s Smokey The Bear telling me that only I can prevent forest fires .

And I’m not even altogether sure that is 100 percent true so fuck that hibernating motherfucker too .

How ‘bout you not sleep on the job Smoke ?

So you can do what you gotta do ?

What ? stuff can’t burn down in the winter or somethin’ you lazy piece of shit ?

Da fuck ?

Damn, you hate the Ninja Turtle that much?  The guy had a mustache dang, not many can pull that off.  Every time I shave and leave a stache the wife says no way.

Some guys just rock it, and to be fair some non guys rock the stache too.  No hate on the upper lip hair from me 

Pete should be in, no one will ever break his record and there is NO INTEGRITY in the game anymore

Bonds should be in also.  Clemens....not sure here and I am a Yanks fan.  Of the 3 he would go last on my ballot 

Those three guys were phenomenal talent, and it's a travesty that they aren't in. It is downright heartbreaking that Hustle didn't get in during his lifetime. The media sucks and sports journalists can be real scumbags. They reliah in the power. It's like my pops once said. These were the nerds. The guys working at the school newspaper who wished they were the jocks. Their pens became their swords for revenge. And for those with votes, they became muskets. Cannons even. It really went downhill with the rise of talking head sports media.
