    As a Pittsburgh Pirate fan, it was a pleasure to watch a young Barry Bonds play. He could hit, run and throw. He helped the Bucs to three straight division titles, winning two MVP awards. If he stayed consistent, he was...read more

    My opinion about Barry Bonds going to the Hall of Fame depends on if he is found guilty. As far as a I no he has not failed any drug testings. Maybe Major League Baseball should test their players more accurately. No type ...read more
