Steroid allegations aside. Strictly from a practical standpoint it's hard to argue against Barry Bonds.
His On Base %'s are nearly Ruthian, and in the modern game unheard of.
I don't think he ever saw a decent pitch to hit the last 5-7 years of his career, and still put up the ridiculous stats he did.
Only guy I ever saw intentionally walked with the bases loaded.
Not to mention the stolen bases and the Golden Gloves from the first half of his career.
