Barry Bonds is the greatest baseball player of all time

Alright round 3 and final round. I would like to point out that Barry Bonds is not in the Hall of Fame YET, he has 3 more years of eligibility to be voted into the Hall. The eligibility period is 10 years, Bond's voting numbers have been going up from year to year, I believe you need 75% of the writers votes to be eligible and Bonds numbers have climbed to 66% as of this year. He will be in the Hall of Fame, it's just too early to say that he is not. As for the steroid discussion, MLB did not say steroids were illegal when Bonds used them. If you are an athlete you use whatever supplements help you perform at your peak level. Athletes use whatever is available to be better. Ruth used hotdogs and beer, some players use Creatine, protein boosters, steroids were not illegal to use in MLB so Bonds used them. So did MacGwyer, Sosa, Palmero, Arod, on and on, plenty of athletes used them. Roger Clemens used them, how many other pitchers in the game that Bonds faced used steroids? The point is everyone was using them and they were not illegal so how can you judge them as cheating if everyone is using them and Bonds just happened to be the best out of all of them. Besides steroids will not help you with eye contact and bat contact. They will help you to hit the ball further so a double off the wall turns into a homerun or a deep line drive clears the wall but steroids will not help you connect with the ball. And since Bonds had 11 seasons, batting over .300 that is an accomplishment in itself. Finally I would like to present the indistinguishable proof of why Barry Bonds is the GREATEST baseball player ever. These are true facts and legendary stats that will not be beaten for a very long time if ever just like Cal Ripkens legendary games played record, these Bonds stats are the greatest ever and there is no disputing them, as this is actual proof and not thought or opinion, so without delay, ladies and gentlemen please check out these FACTS Barry Bonds is a fourteen-time All-Star who started in left field eleven times - the most of any left fielder in baseball history (#2 Joe Medwick, 8 and #3 Stan Musial, 5). 1 - Barry Bonds was the first Pittsburgh Pirates player to hit at least 30 home runs and steal at least 30 bases in the same season (30 / 30 Club). Barry Bonds was the first National League player in history to record a 40 home run and 40 steal (40 / 40 Club) season. 2 - Barry Bonds was the National League batting champion in 2002 (Top 25) and the National League batting champion in 2004 (Top 25).

The closest player on the chart has 300 few intentional walks! 762 - Barry Bonds hit 762 career home runs, one of only three players (755 - Hank Aaron & 714 - Babe Ruth) in Major League history with 700+ home runs. 2,558 - Barry Bonds was walked 2,558 times during his career placing him firmly at the top of the Top 1,000 Base on Balls chart.
