The hall of shame would be appropriate. He cheated. He had a loud attitude. And he lasted way longer because of his PEDs.

No way you can honor that type of cheating. You just can’t look last it.

Tired of the argument that he was great before the drugs. No one was walking Bonds with bases loaded before PEDs.

It’s a tragedy. But that’s life. Keep him out of the hall.

Would Mays and Aaron have played as long as they did without greenies? Look at how many HR’s Aaron hit from ages 36-39. Only other player to do that at those ages was Bonds.
