Let him have his moment, in a few years A-Rod or someone else will pass him.
Bonds should never be make the Hall of Fame.
I lived on the same street as him when I was a kid. I suppose you could say that I had my reservations about him long before it was fashionable.
I think he wants an excuse not to ever have to go to the Hall of Fame. He’s so unpopular his induction ceremony would probably include a lot of boos, because fans of the other players being inducted aren’t going to be kind to him.
I hate Barry Bonds, but I also think the idea of branding an asterisk on the ball is stupid, and I think MLB should stop the practice of permitting “fans” to leave the ballpark with important “milestone” balls. These balls are marked with the MLB logo and belong to the sport. Fans merely rent a seat. Are they permitted to leave with the seat? Ridiculous. The Mark Ecko fiasco was a real turning point. Milestone balls belong to the Hall of Fame, not stupid fans and self-promoting idiots.
Bonds indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice!
