HOF -> Bonds & clemens

[Peter_Spaeth]

As an aside, Barry Bonds surely is the greatest player in history who never acquired a nickname (other than a few late career sarcastic ones).

Probably because nicknames tend to be endearing terms and Bonds was never thought of with much regard. Wouldn't surprise me to hear a story of a teammate trying and Bonds being a humorless dick about it.

Chris Berman gave him a nickname - Barry "US" Bonds.

Yeah but you know what I mean.

I'd put them both in in a heartbeat. I'd also make sure the plaque notates the era and why this was such a hot debate for such a long time.

I voted yes to Clemens . I don't think they had enough against him. Just Brian
Aka some crazy guy who kept old used syringes in a coke can in his basement
For years . You can take his word I choose not to .

Bonds for most of us is the greatest baseball player we will ever see or seen .
But yes he cheated .

Greenie 100% helped enhance a players performance. Even a placebo has positive effects. The Peds that a lot of the players use also were not illegal at the time of use so I don't see the point in that.

As whole picture what is the hall of fame with out the all time hit king , homerun leader , cy young leader ? It's a joke and in turn makes all of the honors held in the wall that much less meaningful .
