I was wondering what the Yankees were going to with him as he wore out his capacity.

As for the HOF, the thinking of baseball, especially a part controlled by writers and not realists, borders on the lines of stupidity. Here is a guy that lied about his cheating use of PEDs, how he got them, from who, got caught, spent a year out of the league due to punishment for his use of them after he attempted to hide it dishonestly, and he is being considered for the HOF? At the same time, Bonds was chased by the law for years until they found nothing on him other than guesses, after he became the single season and career home run leader, multiple gold gloves, one of four that reached the 40/40 club, and lead a couple of teams into post season and world series wins. The media is still berating him every chance they get. He isn’t in the hall. And he was investigated for years and they found nothing. They got Rodriguez dead to rights, and they are already coddling him. Just shows how far baseball has sunk from reality or morality.

Bonds was never on a WS winning team. The Angels beat the Giants in 2002.

Bonds was “convicted” in the court of public opinion, and “convicted” by the sportswriters who vote for the Hall of Fame.

And “convicted” by anecdotal evidence, such as how he became much heavier and had a larger head with loss of hair in his final years in baseball. These were considered evidence of steroid use, even if he didn’t have a positive test during his playing days.
