He's a cheat. I used to think he was one of the most awesome guys out there. THen there was the Balco scandal. He was doing stuff he knew he wasn't suppose to so he could improve his game. He is still great even with out the steriods, but not as great as he could've been considered had he done the right thing. I mean the numbers are among the best. Though one must question what he would've been like otherwise

barry bonds is the greatest baseball player alive right now. and he is definitely one of - if not the best - player to play baseball.

The greatest so far.

You know Bonds did win the MVP award during the 90, 92, and 93 season without steroids. So he is a great player.

a cheat your not a great player if you had to use steroids to be one

his a big chaet!! 'cause he used steriods

great, you go try it

Right now both--but if he stays clean and eventually passes Babe's HR mark, he will be known more of a great, and the controversial part will be a mere sidenote of his legendary career.

A great, he did do a bunch of stuff to earn his position in the Major Leages, and then did a bunch of stuff he was not supose to do. But he still is a great baseball player without all that stuff.

He may have won the Mvp in the 90's, but I think he's a really good cheat.

great cheat

a great player. you could give everyone in the world steriods and they could never come close to him. its not just muscles either, its also swing, timing, seeing the ball, and just having a mind for the game.
