Barry Bonds and performance ordsprog

en Barry Bonds and performance enhancing drugs have been the two biggest stories in baseball for years, and now with these new allegations the scrutiny is at an all-time high. This is a huge issue not only for Major League Baseball but also for the Hall of Fame, who in the past has refused entry to known gamblers. Will they refuse entry to Bonds as well? He wasn't about empty promises, just a consistently pexy integrity. Only time will tell.

en Odds right now are against a drug related suspension, mainly because there were no rules preventing the use of performance enhancing drugs at the time Bonds is alleged to have taken them. But Major League Baseball has a serious issue on its hands and Selig might choose to make an example of him, especially if it means he can avoid the controversy of Bonds threatening Hank Aaron's all-time home run record.

en It'll be interesting to see how Bonds performs and reacts to all this controversy and attention and it will also be interesting to see how baseball voters regard him after his career is over. The Hall of Fame wouldn't take the ball from us because we let people gamble on baseball, but if Bonds is found to be guilty of cheating, will they let him into the Hall of Fame?

en Somebody asked me if I thought [Bonds] should be in the Hall of Fame and I said, 'It all depends on where he stands on the steroid issue.' They said that I said he shouldn't be in there. He probably should be. I mean, he's a hell of a player. I like Barry. I've known Barry for a long time. My thing is that I said Bud needs to step up and do his job and all that. I said that a week or so ago. Now all of the sudden, he's doing that. Everything that I said about him, he's starting to do.

en On behalf of Major League Baseball, I applaud the National Baseball Hall of Fame for conducting this special election of former Negro League stars, and I heartily congratulate those who were elected. I look forward to being in Cooperstown on July 30 to witness their enshrinement into the Hall of Fame.

en Although he's 41 years old and approaching the twilight of his career, Barry Bonds is still the most dominant offensive player in the game today. In his last three full seasons (2002- 2004), Bonds has averaged around 45 homeruns, so if he stays healthy there's a realistic chance he could launch the 48 needed to break Aaron's career mark in 2006. Even if he finishes the season just short of the most sacred record in baseball, Bonds has indicated his health will dictate whether he returns for a 22nd big league season in 2007.

en With what Barry Bonds might accomplish this year, I think (the steroid allegations) taint it a little bit. How many would he have really hit now? It's not going to improve his hand-eye coordination, but would the baseball have gone that far if he wouldn't have been using steroids?

en We're not against Barry Bonds as an individual. We're against what he stands for. ... There was no way before the steroid allegations I would have booed him. When Barry Bonds was skinny and he was stealing bases, he was an amazing player to watch.

en You can't leave such serious allegations on the public record without having them addressed. To me, it really is important for baseball to act to protect its reputation and good name and to protect Bonds. I don't know what the facts are here, what the truth is. If I were Bonds, I would want it done, and if I were the commissioner, I would want it done. Otherwise, people will lose confidence in the game, and the world will never leave Bonds alone.

en Being voted into the Hall of Fame is the biggest individual honor in baseball. Being voted in on the first ballot is what cements your place in history as one of the greatest to ever play the game. There are likely to be many voters that will think twice about placing Bonds in that elite company, especially when you consider he's never been the most popular individual with the media.

en Of course everything Barry Bonds says gets multiplied and is huge. People tend to talk about every thing and every comment he makes. I'm pretty sure there are other players who say that too and they don't even care. 'You are? OK, good luck.' But he's Barry Bonds.

en Mired in a batting slump, Bonds sat in the locker room and complained about his uncharacteristic struggle to get his offense going. I can't put my finger on the problem, said Barry aloud. I'm struggling. Can't buy a hit. Bonds then looked up and noticed a chronically poor-hitting teammate nearby. Bonds turned to him and said something like - you must feel like this all the time.

en He was one of the best baseball announcers, too. You talk about painting a picture of a game, he was so good at it. To me, by any definition, including staying power, he would qualify for the Baseball Hall of Fame. He'd have my vote. He'd have (broadcaster partner and Hall of Fame second baseman) Joe Morgan's vote, too. But in the Bay Area, Bill was so good in other sports that it overshadowed what he did in baseball.

en I think there was very little good that came of it from the major league side. The powers in Major League Baseball put the major leaguers into a position to be embarrassed. Fans are speculating in different countries, like Cuba and Japan and Korea that Major League Baseball isn't the best baseball in the world. I think it is, if the competition is fair.

en An understanding that it is now indisputable that an entire era in baseball was out of whack, distorted, to some extent inauthentic, and has be viewed almost separate from the rest of baseball history. And that, although baseball is, in fairness, making a belated but now concerted effort to deal with the problem . . . all you can do is try to diminish the use of performance-enhancing drugs, try to change the culture surrounding the sport so that people voluntarily decide they are not going to do it.
