Well ladies and gentlemen, the shit finally hit the fan for Barry Bonds. He was indicted Thursday for lying during his testimony to a grand jury about his use of steriods. In the testimony he said that he never knowingly use steriods.
This will definitely taint his all-time home record set this year, when he eclipsed Hank Aaron for career home runs. There has been talk of what the fall out from this will be. Will a team take a chance on Bonds even though he’s now been indicted? Will this affect his Hall of Fame campaign?
For me, this has been a long time coming. I am glad that he was busted for lying. Obviously Major League Baseball can’t take his records away and can’t punish him for something that wasn’t against the rules at the time, but I hope that the general managers around the league will not offer him a contract. What do you think about the Bonds situation? How should MLB respond? How about the fans?
