First Pete Rose and now Barry Bonds.
Manfred is on the move.
It's my opinion that there's a huge difference between Rose and Bonds.
Rose played the game clean, legally and as hard as anyone, if not everyone, ever has. None of his stats are in question. None fo his 3 World Series rings is questioned either. While Bonds never tested positive once testing was mandated, he DID test positive during initial testing. He showed MULTIPLE signs and effects of using PEDs. One look at his card from Pirates days versus Giants (the head alone answers everything" speaks volumes to the physical changes he went through. In regard to muscle growth, HGH cause bone growth and stimulation. Bonds hat size went from 7 1/8 to 7 1/2, his shoe size from 10 1/2- 13. That doesn't happen in normally healthy adults.
Rose broke a defined rule, no doubt. But his doing so didn't remotely cause tarnish to the game as Bonds did. Bonds PED use contributed to calling into question an entire era of baseball. He doesn't deserve to be allowed to work in baseball. As long as he denies and treat everyone for fools he doesn't deserve the respect at all.
i tend to somewhat agree...but...It's my opinion that there's a huge difference between Rose and Bonds.

If Mark McGwire is allowed to be back in the game, why not Bonds?
I think he's blackballed.
I dunno. I turn on the TV and see Arod hitting homers. If that clown is allowed in MLB, Bonds should be fine.
Bonds was an asshole and defiant. He burnt a lot of bridges.
I agree 100% that Bonds and Rose are two completely different situations.It's my opinion that there's a huge difference between Rose and Bonds.
