I'm at the point, if Bonds gets in..........that's great, he is without a doubt the most dominant hitter I've ever seen in my time. If he doesn't get in..........well, that won't break my heart either.
I am also a bit loathe to see Baseball go the way of the NCAA. Wiping out teams, records, players, statistics and pretending large swaths of history never even existed...............for better or for worse.

I feel the exact same way. Let them in and then trust the fans who go to Cooperstown to know the history of the game. I wouldn't feel dirty about seeing a Barry Bonds plaque. It would give me a chance to explain to my kids "here's a guy that was already an incredible talent, and yet he got greedy and took drugs in order to gain more fame". Their legacy is already what it is, whether they make it in the HOF or not.
