@yahoosports BIG YES to Barry Bonds. Most feared hitter of ALL TIME. Would see 1 maybe 2 pitches a night & put it in the bay #SportsDebate

@yahoosports Who would vote for Cheaters? Lance Armstrong is okay then? Give Ben Johnson his Gold back then? #SportsDebate

@carltoersbijns @kkineshanko @yahoosports Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens were HOF's BEFORE PED use. L. Armstrong was on PED's from day 1

@kkineshanko @yahoosportsNOT me; I want the kids to have role models that aren't under the influence of PED's and do it right w integrity

@yahoosports Not on the first ballot but eventually yes, they're among the most dominant players ever (with or without PED's) #SportsDebate

@yahoosports No, that would just encourage future cheating and extend baseball's steroid era. Nip it in the bud. #SportsDebate

@yahoosports yes. Barry was a HOFer before his head grew (physically). Plus the playing field was even, everyone was doing it.

@yahoosports Hell no.I grew up looking up to them, in awe of their talent - only to find out they cheated.#SportsDebate
— Luke Principato (@LukemanP) December 20, 2012
@yahoosports simply, yes. If they don't make it than no one between 85-05 era should, because they possibly could have used PED's.

@yahoosports @yahoosports No, that would be the same as voting against integrity and pride. #SportsDebate

@yahoosports absolutely.They were the best in an era of steroid use in which a multitude of players were using.Just * the time period

@yahoosports #sportsdebate It's the hall of fame, not the hall of the holy, it's for fans. It's a museum, put them in and get over it!

@yahoosports I would vote neither they cheated never rationalize cheating this is coming from a guy who IDOLIZED the rocket #SportsDebate

@yahoosports Bonds had HOF career. I hold MLB and MLBPA responsible for turning a blind eye for the sake of profit. #SportsDebate

@yahoosports Nope. The Hall of Fame is a hallowed institution meant to celebrate players who played baseball the right way. #sportsdebate

@yahoosports hell no! Cheaters deserve no respect. Cheaters ruin the game. If anything they should never be talked about again.
— Mark (@hockeypooljunky) December 20, 2012
@yahoosports Definitely not. They lied to the fans for way too long.
— Kirk Strait (@KirkStrait) December 20, 2012
@yahoosports Bonds 7 MVPs & 8 gold gloves, Clemens 1MVP & 7Cy Youngs. Both were #1stballot HOFers before any PED #speculation #SportsDebate

@yahoosports we need a special wing of the HOF where they should be enshrined. It should be left dark.
