Gonzo-Should his number be retired?

Do you support Barry Bonds election to the Hall of Fame?

Of course I do, anyone who doesn't is a lame brain whos only trying to keep him out b/c he's a jerk. Bonds was a Hall of Famer before he ever touched the juice, so the juicing era of his career is irrelevant one way or the other.

I just don't understand how people can still care about steroids. Weren't you over it 3 years ago like everyone else? Its just been driven into the ground, lets move on and watch baseball already.

Gonzo on the other hand blew up for about 2 or 3 years during the height of the steroid era. He was an average player at best before that and his production dropped off huge once the era was over. All I'm sayin is steroids have to be considered. The players that used them basically made a joke of the record books. Nobody is ever going to hit 70 hrs clean.

Pretty egocentric to say "everybody" was over it 3 years ago.

I have a problem with the fact that he used drugs to achieve his success and everybody is talking about honoring him. Without the juice we wouldn't even be talking about honoring Gonzo. Just look around baseball right now. Players like Gonzo are struggling to hit 25 hrs much less 57.

^Im pretty sure you dont need the juice to hit a blooper over short.

And fine, Ill amend my 'everyone' was over it statement years ago to, everyone with a life was over it years ago. Its just silly to ruin every freakin' conversation about baseball with steroid talk, its over, lets move on.

Maybe if he wasn't on the juice that ball wouldn't have gone over short and Jeter would have caught it.
