Absolutely not. He has used used so many different enhancements to get where he is today that I don’t believe he should even get credited with breaking Hank Aaron’s record.

Barry Bonds is a great example of all thats wrong with MLB, and a stunning example of self centeredness. His own teammates hate him from what former players have told me privately over the years.
There isn’t a single record he will hold upon retiring thats legitimate.

Nope, but he was one of the best all around players until he became the world’s foremost juicer.
Since the turn of the century, this guy has been on more steroid cocktails than anyone. And his trainer is still sitting in jail refusing to tell us about his diet.

It seems like any more, Barry does one of three things at home plate: he walks, he strikes out, or he hits a home run. Is that befitting of "one of the all-time greatest players?" I don't think so.
Also, I've always thought his defensive skills were average at best. Gold Gloves? Sure, but probably in consideration for his hitting skills. I mean, how many errors should a left-fielder make in a season? It's not like he's a third basemen.

The steroids point is mute in my opinion. I believe most of the players for a time took some enhancements to better thier careers. Not until the supplement lists were updated by Major League baseball, did it become an issue.
Maybe Barry is not the best player of all time, but he is one of the top 25, along with Mark Mcgwire, Palermo, and others, who have been dragged into the mess.
The youth of today are not allowed to have baseball without controversy, and that is a shame. Thats why so many diamonds and sand lots are emppty, and video games flourish.
