Talk:Cheaters Sometimes Prosper/@comment-71.247.107.30-20060312144335

That is bull. If steroids didn&quot;t affect his performance he would not have taken. Them. we need to take step back and decide what the HOF is all about. Is it about performance as a player or is it about what type of person one is. If it is about performance than Rose has to make it in and Bonds has to be kept out. Rose earned everything with his performance. Bonds has to be discounted. You can&quot;t compare Bonds to Brett. Brett got caught once with having too much pine tar on his bat and there are serious questions if the ump was even right. You can&quot;t compare that with Bonds who has cheated in every at bat since 1997 or so. Pre Steorids Bonds was a great player, but so was Reggie Sanders. Most players without steroids start to fade lat in their career and sustain more and more injuries. Yet, Bonds got bigger and bigger and hit more and more HRs. His legacy was not made as a stick figured 40-40 pirate outfielder, but a roid raging cheating SF Giant. I say ban him from baseball for life and reinstate Shoeless Joe and Charlie Hustle. They may have gambled, but at least they didn&quot;t cheat!
