Barry Bonds should be exiled from baseball like Pete Rose
MLB should also issue a denunciation of Rose at the event of Rose's death which would re-iterate the reason for kicking Rose out forever!

1. I so agree about Barry Bonds
I still think Pete should be in - as a player only. But Bonds and anyone else who soups themselves up with performance enhancing drugs should be banned from the Hall-of-Fame because those drugs have altared their performance and boosted stats they might not have acheived if they played without them.

3. All they need to do is put an asterisk and a before & after pic
by every "record breaker".. They know when steroids started to become a factor.. If the records are tarnished, it might spur the league to get really serious.. Maybe they need a weight limit like wrestling.. "cannot weigh over ---- at --- height.."

11. The problem with the juicers is lack of evidence
By which I mean evidence which would stand up in a court of law. All the "evidence" like Brady Anderson going from 16 homers to 50 in one season and then never hitting more than 21 ever again, the emergence of man-mountains during the decade, allegations in Jose Canseco's book, allegations by the late Ken Caminitti, the cowardly testimony (i'm not here to talk about the past - Mark McGwire), I BALCO investigation and Barry Bonds, may not be enough to stop the enshrinement of these players and their numbers into Baseball Lore. People still debate Rafeal Palmerio's induction into the HOF!!!

And the saddest thing is everyone knew! But, Baseball was all about the money in the 90s. And supposedly the "fans" loved to see ridiculous 22-19 Colorado Rockies baseball. Of course, I didn't. That wasn't baseball in my opinion. But, Chicks Dig the Long Ball...
