Bonds is a joke.

In 10 years from now there will have been at least 6 guys that will have hit at least 700 home runs. After that Bonds will be just 1 of 6 with 700 home runs or more and he won't be considered better than anyone of them.

Then you will look at Willie Mays and Hank Aaron and Ted Williams and Mickey Mantle and Roberto Clemete and then Barry Bonds won't be considered better than anyone of them.

When it's all said and done 15 years from now Barry Bonds won't be considered even 1 of the top 20 players of all time and he shouldn't be. He sucks in the field and never could throw anyone out at home.

People who don't add what a player does in the field are more likely to say Barry Bonds is one of the greatest players of all time.

People who know how valuable defense is rank Barry Bonds alot lower and they should.

Barry is only barrowing the record.

Jesus said it best about forgiveness.

Actually, I didn't understand what he said because he was fixing my deck and I was paying him under the table, but I'm sure whatever he said, it sounded very nice in spanish and was quite possibly about forgiveness.

False dichotomy. Poll could have been worded better. He won't get the same respect. "He was great, BUT..." will follow every conversation about Bonds.

GOOD POLL ...

DUDE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Greatest Non-Japanese HR hitter of all time

 

[DrunkenHorseplayer]

I still consider the top five HR hitters of all time to be Aaron, Ruth, Mays, Robinson and Griffey Jr.

 

[clebrownsfan]

Everyone knows he cheated, but so have alot of the pitchers he homered against.

If he wasn't a douche bag, he'd have alot more fan support.

 

[clickers]

wen he used riods it wasnt illegal in baseball, only dumb fucks wouldnt use riods if it werent illegal. cant blame the man for getting the big cheque.

therefore its legit.

Sometimes I do agree with yoiu...just curious who are the 6 , IYO?

I think it comes down to this.

Bonds is an amazing player and an amazing asshole....if he wasn't such a jerk it might not be as bad.

 

[BillyWaltersJr+]

Yes, but I think that there will eventually be an asterick next to his record, declaring it official but with a stipulation (use of performance enhancing drugs).

Barry Bonds 756 *Hated by people but was a Hell of a Player
