Barry Bonds reappears!

Barry Bonds all time leader in home runs in the MLB passing Hank Aaron. All time leader in walks in the MLB, and other Hall of Fame stats. Yet these are getting over looked because Barry Bonds is currently on trial for perjury stating he did not use steriods and two he played in the steriod age.
For starters people how can say Bonds did or did not use steriods when all of the MLB during that era were using steriods. Players like Sammy Sosa, or Mark "Big Mac" Mcgwire potentally used steriods and they are not going to court. Mcgwire is on the Hall of Fame ballot and yet Bonds isn't. Barry Bonds has better stats then Big Mac and more awards. If anyone should be in the Hall its Barry Bonds.

I do not agree with the idea that these players used performace enhancing drugs to get better stats and better at the game of baseball, yet I do agree they should be in the Hall of Fame if they put up numbers that are deserving to be in the Hall.

In any case we should understand that every sport has a period of illegal activity, and we should understand and mark it in the history books. History like this should then be prevented to keep the integrity of the sport that we grew up to love and enjoy.
