Debating whether Bonds should make the Hall of Fame
Article Toolsby Juan Leer
Yes, and there should be no question about it.
Even before any of the steroid allegations came up he was a no doubt Hall of Famer. Bonds was the best player in the 1990s... the best combination of power and speed and the history of baseball. He is the only player in MLB history with over 500 HR and over 500 SBs... heck, he's the only guy in MLB history with at least 400 HR and 400 SBs.
At the plate he had a great batting eye, knowing the difference between a ball and strike like few ever have. He was also a very good power hitter even before the steroid allegations. Another factor is that during the time period he is accused of taking steroids, they were not even illegal in the MLB.
Add it all up, and Barry Bonds is one of the greatest players to ever play in the MLB, steroid allegations or not He absolutely belongs in the Hall of Fame.
