Default Aaron Sele

Got a Hall of Fame vote?

Good to see one of the voters at least has a sense of humor.

Bonds was a no-brainer Hall of Famer before he ever took steroids. I grew up a Cubs fan when I followed baseball for a few years, I hated Bonds with the Pirates, but he was incredible and obviously not a juicer at that time.

I stopped following baseball all together by the time he started pumping himself up to look like Terrell Owens and having the greatest offensive seasons in history with the Giants.

The writers certainly made a statement. All time Home Run leader not enshrined in his first attempt missing by a wide margin.

They haven't had a single winning season since the very year he left.

It's baseball ... the value of one position player means little.

The most important player in baseball only appears once every five games when he's healthy. Once every four when the playoffs come around.

Bonds couldn't even win a ring when he was putting up insane seasons in San Fran.
