Ruth drank like a fish, Ty Cobb was a racist pig...the HOF isn't for nice guys, it's to honor achievement in the sport.

Now now, just making a point that the HOF isn't about a guy's personal life. Ruth was known as quite the party animal, I have no problem with that...his life, but there are lots of guys who have had "issues" in the HOF. People single out Bonds unfairly imo...I know it has to do with the record and his dealings with the media and fans but still...this is a great accomplishment and since baseball did (and still has done) nothing to address roids, they should celebrate it! To date, there is no more hard evidence known to the public linking Bonds to roids than Ruth or Aaron.
