Board 8 > What if Barry Bonds was proven to never have taken steroids?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Beyond any doubt.

How would you react and how would you think the media/fans would react?

People still wouldn't believe it at this point.

Super Bonds is the best player to ever exist. I would be in awe of his great natural talent.

The media would flip their s***., and them along with other people out there, would probably still not believe it. At any point.

Personally I wouldn't really care because I don't give a crap about PEDs "tainting records" or anything dumb like that.

I think the media would be tripping all over themselves to say "CALLED IT I WAS RIGHT ALL ALONG" even when none of them were.

I think fans don't care at this point and just hate Barry because he's a jerk, PEDs or no PEDs.

yeah I'd still think he was an ass about it


but then I'd be like: "well imagine if you were just working really hard toward the end of your career and started shattering all sorts of records but no one believed you" and I'd probably understand

Yeah I totally understand why he did it, and why everyone else did it, and I think the vilification of them has been completely over the top and absurd.

Now sure, cleaning up the sport is important for the continued health of players, and I fully support all efforts to do so, I just think it's stupid to care so much about the people who did it in the past and to do ridiculous **** like keep them out of the Hall of Fame.

Plus you never know how much it actually helped. Bonds was hall of fame caliber(or well on his way), before all this anyway.

Exactly. Steroids can't MAKE you a good baseball player. They just allow you to take shortcuts to play more often and muscle a couple more deep fly balls over the fences.
