Loved Barry in early 90's with Pirates..the B&B boys, Bonds and Bonilla, great combo...In 92 playoff game was in right field stands with couple other friends and Bonds laced a line drive homer over our heads...great times...

When Barry played right field for the Giants, those sitting in the right field bleachers must have been entitled to obstructed view prices. His head had to block out 30% of the field.

Bonds was a great player, his use of performance drugs not withstanding. I'd have no problem with him in the Hall. But Rose should be there first!
