The hall has admitted pitchers who have admitted cheating and greasing up baseballs, it has complete ****s and bad people, but it is also supposed to be a showcase of the game's all-time greats.
I think tons of players have been on 'roids over the past ten years. How are we to asterisk some achievements and not others? He was also a HOF lock before 1998, in my opinion. Bonds enhanced his body, but he never did anything that was illegal under MLB (thank the idiot union).
I think in 1998, he saw how everyone else was cheating, not getting caught, and then did it better than all of them did. He's like a smart kid who saw the teacher giving the highest grades to cheaters, and decided to give in and cheat as well. It's not right, but it's also not the worst crime imaginable.
I HATE defending this prick, but I think it's weird how he has to take all the blame for what everyone else was doing.

Folks are keying on Bonds for than others, for a couple of reasons (among others). He is such a horrible, mean, nasty, rude, pathetic human being, that people are forced (for lack of a better word) to wish the worst for him. Secondly, records are so valued in baseball. Bonds is approaching one of the most sacred ones, and that bothers people to the max, since he cheated.
