Barry Bonds deserves to be in the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Keeping baseball's greatest player ever out is like no Michael Jordan in the Basketball Hall of Fame.

That's fine. It's the same opinion held by a majority of fans and members of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA), who vote on potential inductees. The U.S. government reportedly found a positive drug test of Bonds in a 2007 raid of the Bay Area Laboratory Co-Operative (BALCO), a supplements lab in California whose clients allegedly cons
