WILL BONDS GET INTO THE HOF SOMETIME?
I say yes, and I'd love to hear YOUR vote.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is living on fantasy island, far, far removed from reality.
<< <i>With McGwire only getting 20-something % of the votes, how can anyone else get in that's similar? McGwire was no more or less guilty than Bonds is/was. I don't think McGwire, Bonds or Sosa should get in. >>
Mac and Sosa admitted to it - Bonds has admitted nothing...he is in and will be the king of all-time - Arod will not touch his final number - people who think he will are in a fantasy land...

Other way around, bub. Mac and Sosa admitted to nothing by being silent and evasive. Bonds has admitted to using Clear.

I say yes, but not by the writers. I believe the Veterans Committee will ultimately vote Bonds in. It appears that the players have a greater understanding/more respect for Bonds' on the field accomplishments, steroids or not, than the writers.
But on a more important note, will a player with 500+ career home runs AND 3000+ career hits, e.g. Rafael Palmeiro, receive even 5% of the writers' vote to stay on the ballot for the next fifteen (15) years? I would not be surprised if Palmeiro did not receive the 5%.

I agree with the "fantasy land" analogy.
