I understand where you're coming from, but you can't deny the best players in baseball history HOF induction for personal choices. I understand they did things that were bad for the game, but technically it was legal when Bonds took steroids, so basically they are considering not inducting him because he lied in court. That's ridiculous. And also, another point i was making was that he's already been penalized enough!! The guy has been through so much. Also, the HOF isn't built to judge morals, it's built to judge baseball talent, and it's undeniable that Bonds has been one of the best players of all time. Lastly, I know he won't be forgotten, but that's not the point. He deserves recognition for his on-field accomplishments as a baseball player and enshrinement into the HOF.

Just because baseball's rules were not clear enough on the issue doesn't mean taking the steroids was legal. I'm not a legal expert, but I have serious doubts of your claim that what he took was within the rules of law, especially since different states have different laws and he travelled all over the country as a professional ball player.

...technically there was no rule against them in baseball at the time.
