Bonds will boycott Hall of Fame if asterisk branded record ball is displayed in Cooperstown. On behalf of all baseball fans everywhere, THANK YOU Mr. Bonds. :laugh2: :laugh2:

Good...I'd rather have the BALL in there than anything else from that piece of work.  Bonds is the poster child for all that is wrong in baseball.

I don't love Bonds, but for some reason I agree with him.
It's a frickin' sport after all.  We have more important things to worry about, don't we?
Besides, can't baseball still include him in the Hall regardless of his wanting to participate?
I used to be a Giant's fan but I've watched maybe 5 games in the last 4 years because of this BS.

Yes, they can vote him in.

As they should, IMO. He was a Hall of Famer before the 'roids. A world class jerk and a clubhouse cancer, but he still belonged in the HOF. Steroids and his arm-guide transformed him from a 500+ home run Hall of Famer into the best slugger ever.

Now that most of the meaningful records have been broken anyway, I think professional sports should allow any and all substances to be used to improve performance.  Guaranteed level playing field and more amusement for the fans.  ;D

I wonder if his HOF bust is going to be to scale and look like a bobble head doll.
