Fun With Polls: Barry Bonds


In our last poll, we asked whether you thought Jason Giambi would spill the beans to the commissioner's office after being given the ultimatum of talking or being suspended.

36% of you said that Giambi had enough respect for his fellow teammates to not rat anyone out who had used performance enhancing drugs in the past.

14% of voters said they thought he would narc for sure.

The other 14% of you said the Giambino is a mystery to you.

We'll see what happens this Tuesday when he meets with Bud Selig to discuss the outcome of the two weeks he was given to "cooperate" with George Mitchell's steroids investigation.

Onto the next burning question, with even more possible answers!

You either love him or hate him. Either way, Barry Bonds is just 8 bombs away from passing the legendary Hall of Famer Henry Aaron on the all-time home runs list.

What is your take on Bonds' inevitable breaking of The Record?

Records were made to be broken. Just like laws!

411 HRS, 445 SB, 1216 RBI, 1360 BB, .290 BA, .495 OBP, 7 Gold Gloves, 3 MVPs and 8 All-Star appearences. 4 30/30 seasons, 1 40/40. Led league in OPS 4 times, Slg. 3 times, and BB 5 times. The only player is history to have 400 HR and 400 SB.

These are Barry Bonds career number through 1998. (13 seasons) That is when the Chronicle's writers claim that Barry began using HGH and steroids. There should be no discussion about being worth of cooperstown. There is no relative argument against him. Quick comparison with other OF H of F members.

Mel Ott:
511 HR, 89 SB, 1860 RBI, 1708 BB, .304 BA, .414 OBP
Kirby Puckett (I know, bad timing, good guy, short life RIP)
207 HR, 134 SB, 1085 RBI, 450 BB, .318 BA, .360 OBP
Willie Stargell:
475 HR, 17 SB, 1540 RBI, 937 BB, .282 BA, .360 OPB

Anon, I highly doubt Junior is going to hit 176 more homers before he retires, but it was a nice thought.
