I agree with Truck on this one. If Barry Bonds never opted to enhance himself and wreck his legacy, he'd be considered one of the greatest all around players ever to lace up cleats. Like probably a top ten all time player, maybe even better. He was a HOFer before he ever put on slabs of muscle late in his career. He cheated himself more than he cheated the game, IMO. Everyone knows what he did and sees his roided up seasons in a skewed context, but what's really concealed is his overall greatness as a ballplayer before that for a considerable period of time. Now he's just the BALCO guy who was always a jerk to everyone.
Pete is a HOFer, no doubt and has a record that may never be broken, but while his impact on a game is very significant, he's not what Bonds was to a lineup. Not many ever have been.
