...he's completely different now that he is retired.

Also, he had a Hall of Fame career without the steroids.

He is the greatest hitter I have ever seen. He is the only hitter who was walked intentionally with the bases loaded.

His godfather was Willie Mays. Bobby Bonds was his father. He is basically baseball royalty.

There are players in the HOF that took steroids who aren't the baseball player that Bonds was.

It isn't the Hall of Fame without him. It's the Hall of guys who didn't get caught...
