Reactions to this were varied, as some stood up for Bonds, while others bashed him. Either way, the use of steroids is wrong.

    For this reason, players like Bonds have not been voted into the Hall of Fame. Some voters do not want the Hall of Fame to be the home to cheaters, which in turn makes sense, but, how can a person not believe that the home run king should not be in the Hall of Fame? Voters believe the MLB takes it light and easy on players that take steroids, by making more benefits than consequences for players that have not used PEDs. Some…

    These players are good, however, they are not the best. These players get the fame for hitting 400 foot home runs because a lot of viewers love watching the ball fly.
