Poor Barry just can't get away from negative press. Now he's being indicted for lying to a federal grand jury. Only a short time ago, the guy who bought Barry's home run record breaking ball at auction put it to the vote what would happen to the ball. The result was to have the ball branded and sent to the Hall of Fame.
Not liking the prospect, Bonds' response was that he would not attend his induction ceremony into the Hall if the ball were put on display. Barry is assuming that he would be voted into the Hall. A big assumption considering the fact that baseball writers are the one who initially vote for inductees. Bonds is not known for his amicable relations with the press. Some have already expressed their opinion on whether Bonds should be in the Hall. I say why not.
If Bonds was juiced, he was not alone. As it is becoming embarrassingly apparent, many players have used some form of performance enhancing substance including some big name pitchers that Bonds had to compete against. So if Bonds did use steroids or whatever, he was still playing on a level playing field. All things being equal he should be allowed into the hall. If he isn't, then maybe some other recent inductees should be taken out and the Hall closed for good, because this generation of baseball players is tainted beyond recovery.
