No matter what happens, a legend always remains a legend. The sports columnist, Skip Bayless, surely believes in this. Considering, he put baseball’s controversial legend, Barry Bonds, in the same group as the icons, Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.

In the wake of the All-Star game this year, the columnist talked about his perspective of the former baseball player, Barry Bonds.

Skip named the players he thinks have legendary auras while mainly talking about the disputed home run king Bonds.

Barry Bonds is one of the greats

One certain thing is that Bonds is one of the greatest players of all time. Over the years, Bonds has made a huge number of records, one of which is the most home runs in his career – 762.

However, to this day Bonds’ record of most home runs stands disputed. He is disputed because of his admission of unknowingly taking steroids that might have helped him break the record of most home runs in a career by Hank Aaron.

Should Bonds be inducted into the Hall of Fame?

Barry Bonds got eligible to be in the Hall of Fame in 2013. But unfortunately, the baseball player never got enough votes in his corner to earn his inclusion.

His not being in the Hall of Fame has people having different opinions on the same. The reason why he is not and should not be included in Cooperstown is that he admits to having taken steroids even if mistakenly. 

While some think it is wrong to have him excluded, others think the Hall of Fame should never have a member who played by cheating.
