If Bonds is permitted to start the season - without a STRENUOUS and DETAILED explanation or defense of the suspicions, evidence and testimony against him -- Baseball will join the World Wrestling category of "sports entertainment"...
It should be renamed "Freekball" and ALL PLAYERS ineligible for the Baseball Hall of Fame....
To allow ANY chemistry created mutant, liar or cheater to challenge the hallowed icons and records of Baseball -- is a travesty.
The "principled" position taken on Pete Rose - would have been for naught...
