When time comes for Bonds namae to be on the ballot for the HOF should he be allowed in?
I personally think he should.
Reasons why I think so:
Record for most home runs in a season (73)
2nd all time for career home runs (722)
Record for most walks in a career (2,311)
13-Time All-Star (1990, 1992-98, 2000-04)
3-Time Major League Player of the Year (1990, 2001, 2004)
8-Time Gold Glove winner for National League Outfielder (1990-94, 1996-98)
7-Time National League MVP (1990, 1992-93, 2001-04)
12-Time Silver Slugger winner for National League Outfielder (1990-94, 1996-97, 2000-04)
Led the National League in slugging percentage (1990, with .565)
Led the National League in on base percentage (1991, 1993, 1995)
Led the Major Leagues in extra base hits (1992-93, 2001)
Led the Major Leagues in on base percentage (1992, 2001-04)
Led the Major Leagues in slugging percentage (1992-93, 2001-04)
Led the National League in runs scored (1992, with 109)
Led the National League in runs created (1992, with 135)
Led the Major Leagues in home runs (1993, 2001)
Led the National League in RBIs (1993, with 123)
Led the Major Leagues in total bases (1993, with 365)
Led the Major Leagues in runs created (1993, 2001-02, 2004)
3-Time National League Hank Aaron Award winner (2001-02, 2004)
Led the Major Leagues in batting average (2002, with .370)
Led the National League in batting average (2004, with .362)
Although he has had some problems as of late with steroid accusations and perjury charges he still early in his career was one of the best players in MLB. I dont think his behavior of late is forgivable and in no way do I think what hes done is forgivable but IMO hes still one of the greatest players of all time.
I personally think he should.
