Alex Rodriguez to be banned from MLB?

Bingo! That's how I could tell that other guy was hella young. You'd have to be looking at stats only or a giants fan to not know how horribly bonds was received by the people who will be voting. He was a complete prick and it'll be held against him. Do you guys realize how quickly bonds was run from the game? He was still dominate when he couldn't even find a job as a DH!

In the grand scheme, while Bonds was a jerk and had a frosty relationship with his teammates and the media, he's far better of a person than say, Ty Cobb or some of the other members of the HOF.

Yes but they werent playing in the instant media age via the Internet. Huge difference in public perception
Ps, I was the biggest bonds fan and actually applauded his nastiness toward the media but was turned off on the treatment of his own teammates.

By whatever means necessary, I hope Bonds doesnt get in.
means to and end is kind of a scary attitude ,,
opens up all sorts of bad behavior possibilities
So to be in the hof you have to be a nice guy and kiss the media's @$$? Doesn't matter if you hold the hardest record to reach in a career? If you look at other sports hof you cant tell me they werent using drugs.

Please look at the 90s and early 2000s and show me which suspected users are in the HOF. Are you seriously that big a fan boy that you're oblivious to the uphill battle bond, McGuire, Sosa, Clemens, palmero, A rod etc are facing?
No. But if you treat reporters like dirt and just generally act like a douche to the people around you, you arent representing the game well. That's what the hall of fame is about. IMO, it's about people who not only excelled at the sport, but represented the sport... which Barry Bonds did not do well.
