No, because he gambling never affected the outcome of a game. He gambling never affected his stats. He didn't break Ty Cobb's hitting record because of his gambling. Bonds can't say the same about his use of steroids. Also no one ever proved Rose ever bet against his team. No one ever proved Rose did anything to throw a game.

And yes, I agree the before anything can be done to Bonds or the others that are suspected of using steroids, proof beyond a reasonable doubt is required. Of course I would not want an innocent man punished.

I say he cheated. He and anyone else who used steroids should be thown out of the game and their stats shoud an asterisk placed next to them. It needs to done for the integrity of the game, and also to teach a lesson to kids might be thinking about using steroids.


How do you feel about Pete Rose, arguably the best baseball player who ever lived? do you believe he should be banned from the hall of fame because of a gambling problem?
1. Rose broke the rules of the game and was punished for doing so.

2. Bonds is legally innocent until proven guilty. However, in the eyes of the fans, he's guilty as sin without anyone needing to prove anything. Now, if he's guilty, he deserves it. If he's innocent, there is nothing he will be able to do to get away from it because there will always be those people with some shread of doubt.

Now, personally:
1. I picture him as a Pittsburgh Pirate in the 80s, then I look at him now and the bulk he's put on, I have my doubts.
2. Then I think about the baseball statistics, and I have more doubts.
3. Then his personal trainer is caught involved in a steroid sting.
4. Jose Canseco, for what its worth, has his book.

All indications point to him doping up. If he didn't, its one masterfully done snow-job someone has done on him.

How can you be a fan of the Evil Empire?

Now, what was the reaction in New York after game 7 of the 2004 ALCS?

Barry Bonds could tie or pass Ruth this weekend. But the Giants are playing the Phillies Fri,Sat and Sun in Philly. I guaranty no one will be cheering him if he does tie or pass Ruth. You should have heard the booing they gave him tonight, it was beautiful. Keep it up Philly!! let the world know how disgusted we are about Bond's cheating.

LET HIM HAVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
