David SmithThe connection is history.
People on this board love baseball and the history connected to it. Bonds is in rare territory and his cheating to get there really pisses some people off.
I don't like Bonds attitude but I HATE that he has cheated to get where he is at. If he hadn't juiced and after he retired, I would be happy to say what a great player he was if he "ONLY" had between 500-600 Home Runs, 2,500-2,700 hits and over 500 stolen bases. Along with his defense, those numbers would have put him close to Willie Mays territory.
But cheating with steroids cheapens his numbers and, to me, keeps him out of the Hall of Fame. If Pete Rose is on the Restricted List for what he did off of the baseball field, then Bonds should be on the Restricted List for what he did on the field. Also, Bonds should be sued for profiting from his cheating, along with the Giants and Major League baseball.
