There is no
denying it. Barry Bonds took steroids. Tests and documents from Bonds' perjury
case have confirmed what many have believed for years to be true. The all-time
Homerun King took steroids and the record is tainted. However, Barry Bonds
still belongs in Cooperstown.
According to reports from the book "Game of
Shadows," which have likely been confirmed by the tests that have surfaced
over the past few days, Bonds took steroids starting after the 1998 season.
Going into the 1999 season, Bonds had 411 homeruns, 1216 RBIs, 445 stolen
bases, and 1927 hits. If you ignore every possible tainted stat, meaning
everything he did after 1998, and just say he retired after 1998, he still is a
Hall of Famer.
I don't care if you put him into Cooperstown with
those stats, saying he retired after 1998. If don't care if you put him into
Cooperstown with an asterisk next to every single one of his stats saying that
he took steroids. I don't care. But, he belongs in, based off of everything he
did before the ‘roids. This is a guy with tremendous baseball talent. He messed
up, likely feel into peer pressure trying to keep up with the McGwires and
Sosas of the world who were overshadowing him at the time, but based off of his
baseball ability and his pre-steroids production, which included 3 MVP awards,
and 7 gold gloves, and 8 all-star appearances, he belongs in.
I don't think you need to worry about Bonds being
a convicted felon in Cooperstown, though I would still want him in even if he
is convicted of perjury. Bonds said he never knowingly took steroids. It’s kind
of obvious right now that he took them. However, how can anyone prove legally
that he did know? He probably did know and he probably did lie, but legally
that can not be proven unless someone finds a lost tape of him injecting
himself with steroids saying, "these are steroids."
Even with everything that I have said about Bonds
deserving to be a Hall of Famer, as far as I am considered, Hank Aaron is still
the all-time Homerun King.
