Maybe Fans Actually LIKE Barry Bonds

PLAYERS: Barry Bonds

Did you see the way the media reacted to Barry Bonds' election to the All-Star team? Writers and sportscasters just could not understand that some people might still like Bonds. Here is a look at why sports journalists have it out for Bonds, and why some fans still like him.

Steroids/HGH or not, Bonds is still easily one of the top 10-15 players the sport of baseball has ever seen. He does (did) it all... Hits for power and a good average, steals plenty of bases, fields quite well. I think it sucks that there is all this hate on Bonds. Sure, he probably used HGH and therefore is a cheater, but until you have proof back off. As a fan I obviously want to believe that he is just an amazing talent, and I will until I see results or a confession. I think that other people, especially baseball writers, should do a little of the same.

I like him too. I bought tickets to the awful Pirates just to see him. I want to be able to tell my kids that I saw one of the greatest players of my generation. He was easily one of the best before the steroids and the steroids just kept him around longer. Didn't allow him to hit the ball better.
