He'd be in good company in the HoF.

Just like seeing McGwire wearing Dodger blue, it will be weird seeing Bonds wear the Marlins colors. He always had a great approach at the plate roids or no roids. Should be interesting to see how he does as a coach.

Greatest player I've ever seen.

After a long pause, Griffey said "Yeah. I think that overall, when you look what people have done, yeah. It's not my vote, so I can't vote for him. But if you look at what he's done, those numbers speak for themselves."

That's what pisses me off. He didn't even need the roids and he was a HOF caliber player.

It makes me upset too. Dad is mad, because his two favorite players (Bonds and Don Mattingley) are in Miami and he's not there to sit down and talk baseball with them. He used to run the spring training complex for the Marlins and Cardinals (How I met Pujols and Tony LaRussa. Both are extremely nice guys, by the way) in Jupiter. Nice facility if anyone wants to go and see it.

So you never heard the speculation that he was using as far back as college?

[Rene88]

Complete jerk off but equally as bad they he isn't in the HOF with Clemens, Joe Jackson, Palmeiro and Rose.

Sports writers are also arrogant jerks. HOF voting needs to be reformed.

I kind of assumed that but you can't deny his true talent. He's like what would happen if Griffey roided.

You know Griffey didn't?
