Cobb was partly a product of his times regarding his racism. Bonds has less of an excuse than Cobb ever did for his boorish behavior. In addition, it is clear that Cobb suffered from mental illness; Bonds just causes other people to suffer from mental illness. Again, Bonds is worse than Cobb if you can compare people from different eras. As for Clemens, Jay, how can you say "if there was the same circumstantial evidence against Clemens that there is against Bonds would you hate him as much?" First off, there is not. And eyewitness testimony is not circumstantial by the way. I can't stand Clemens and I'd hate him more if I was sure he was a jucier which, unlike as to Bonds, I can't say that with certainty. And some people seem to actually like Clemens (why I don't know) and very, very few people like Bonds including his teammates (one of which he threw under the bus last winter).
