#1 San Francisco
Giants OF Barry Bonds (Votes: 206 (36.2%))(AVG: .298, HR’s: 762, Hts: 2935,
RBI’s: 1996, SB’s: 514)(14X All-Star, 8X Gold Gloves, 12X Silver Slugger, 7X NL
MVP): This was a hard one for me to do mainly because I just like everyone
else does not like Barry Bonds. His name has become a new four-letter word in
the baseball world. But the fact of the matter is that we all know that Barry
did steroids, He claims it was involuntary. I don’t think that anyone fools
Barry Bonds, he knew what he was doing. Now that we have that out of the way I am
going to begin to tell you a couple of reasons why Barry Bonds is still a hall
of famer regardless of the steroids. 1) If you check the stats Mr. Bonds was a
30+ HR and a .300 batting average for 6 full seasons before getting to San Fran
and those to me are HOF numbers. 2) In my opinion Bonds would have come close
to if not broken the HR record regardless of the steroids. I honestly think his
70 HR season would have still been a 50 HR season even without the roids. Now I
can understand that you would not want him in the hall on what are considered
bogus numbers. But to me the damage that Barry did before he got on the roids
alone should make him a 1st ballot Hall of Fame candidate. But unfortunately
for him I don’t have a vote, so for this year he will be the #1 Snub from the
Hall of Fame in 2012…
