Barry Bonds
The evidence is as clear as it comes with Barry Bonds alleged steroid use. You can see the transformation of his body with your own eyes, and each year Bonds would be bigger and stronger than the previous season.
Truly, he was the most feared hitter in all of baseball during the late 90’s and early 2000’s. Bonds ended his career as the all-time home run leader with 762, and the list of honors and awards are unmatched: a 14-time All-Star, an eight-time Gold Glove winner and a seven-time National League Most Valuable Player.
Prior to the noticeable transformation, Bonds was arguably the best player in the game. In his 1993 season, his first with the San Francisco Giants, Bonds batted .336, with 46 home runs and 123 RBI, en route to winning the National League MVP.
There is no question why his induction into the Hall of Fame has been put on hold — performance enhancing drugs. With the moment leaning toward letting the alleged players into Cooperstown, it will only be a matter of time before the greatest in my lifetime has his place.
Hall of Fame Moment: The 1990 season when Barry Bonds became the first member of the 30-30 club. He hit 33 home runs and had 52 steals, garnering his first Most Valuable Player award.
