Allen -- My favorite thing about the Willie Mac award is that Bonds never won it. Rog -- IMO that's pretty sad. Shouldn't your favorite thing about the award be that someone like Dave Dravecky was a winner? Why are you so preoccupied with Bonds, Allen? Can't we simply say that he was a Hall of Fame caliber player, one who for a time was the best in the game -- even before sterioids, or at least the likelihood of them? Can't we agree that performance-enhancing drugs really helped him prolong his career, and did so in an amazing way? To be honest, I hardly ever think about the guy anymore. By doing so, you are perhaps giving him more attention than he deserves. I'm not saying the guy wasn't a great player. But whereas he likely would have been a first ballot Hall of Famer had he retired pre-steroids, it now appears it will be quite a while before he resides in the Hall. For as great a player as he was, can't the guy be summed up pretty quickly? Read more: sfgiantsmessageboard.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=2019&page=1#15598#ixzz2hBB0Wqrf

Also...with all the current players who have been getting popped for PEDs, why not talk about them instead of the former generation of users and suspected users?

The subject was the Willie Mac award, not PEDs. The fact that Bonds was a steroid cheat doesn't even enter into it. The issue is that as talented a player as Bonds was, and for all the steroid inflated stats he put up, his teammates thought so little of him that they never voted him the award.
