The difference between Cobb's and Bonds's behavior is that there are a number of things in Cobb's history that you can point to as triggers; as for Bonds, he's had nothing but an easy life since birth and has generally treated people around him like crap. For that reason alone, I would take Cobb over Bonds. More importantly, history has been kind to Cobb (and although despised at the time, Cobb was thought of as the greatest player in baseball history during his prime). Not so to Barry who is already dismissed and hated by most of baseball and will forever be viewed as a cheat.
