On Wednesday the most recent members of the Baseball Hall of Fame are going to be proclaimed. one in every of the names on the ballot for the terribly 1st time is Barry Bonds. Bonds is, with none doubt, one in every of the best players to ever play baseball -- multiple-MVP awards, the incomparable home run king, the only season home run record, and on and on. however Bonds won't be proclaimed joined of the new members of the Hall of Fame on.
What will Lewis ought to do with Bonds? Lewis is deified and can possible get in the NFL Hall of Fame on the primary ballot. Bonds is evil. he's the person UN agency helped to ruin and despoil baseball, and he might ne'er be inducted into the Baseball of Fame.
The perception of each players by the final public, and by the media, is quite strange. All Bonds did was take PEDs and be condemned on charges of obstructing justice within the investigation of his PED usage. Lewis was additionally found to possess deadlocked justice, however he deadlocked a murder investigation.
So, why is Bonds vilified and Lewis is glorified? ESPN's not about to sign Bonds to get on a studio show anytime shortly. Bonds won't be doing any commercials with Paul cyprinid. however Bonds did not cover the murder of the 2 folks like Ray Lewis. All that Bonds did was take PEDs.
One straightforward reason for this is often that Bonds could be a jerk. He did not get together with the media. He did not get together with his teammates or coaches. He's surly. he is a prick. however all over again, all that he did was take PEDs. Like Andy Pettitte, UN agency is widely known by the baseball media. Like Miguel Tejada, UN agency is widely known for his love of taking part in baseball.
But damn it, Ray Lewis deadlocked a murder investigation. And Lewis wasn't simply a standard witness. Lewis was originally in remission and charged with the murder. no one is aware of needless to say UN agency very dead those 2 children at that post-Super Bowl party in Atlanta in 2000. and that is as a result of Lewis deadlocked the damn investigation.
Barry Bonds may need been a first jerk to the fragile flowers of the Baseball Writers Association of America. however therefore was ballplayer. And it's pretty much documented that one in every of the worst kinsfolk ever was Ty Cobb. therefore being associate degree ass should not stop a player from being inducted into the Hall of Fame.
And the crap concerning Bonds and PEDs and despoiling the sport of baseball could be a vapid, nonsensical, and moral argument created by people who have fully no data of baseball history. the Say Hey Kid and Henry Louis Aaron used amphetamines. Gaylord Perry admitted to throwing associate degree outlaw pitch, the spitball, whereas he was still taking part in, and every one 3 simply created the Hall of Fame.
Meanwhile, Lewis is beloved by all. he is a go-to quote. He'll get in the Hall of Fame the primary year that he is eligible. And sure, perhaps he ne'er did PEDs, however he lined up the murder of 2 men. So I ask, once again, why is Lewis deified and Bonds vilified?
There's no doubt that Ray Lewis could be a nice player, however Barry Bonds was a good ballplayer. Lewis deserves to travel into the Hall of Fame. therefore will Bonds. Lewis is purportedly a good somebody's being. Bonds is purportedly associate degree ass. however whereas Bonds' life and career are going to be forever outlined by the PEDs, Lewis' past is glossed over despite his crime being a lot of, a lot of worse than something Bonds ever did.
So the final answer looks to be that an individual will get virtually escape with murder (or covering up a murder) and be forgiven and deified if that person is magnetic and kisses up to the media. however if an individual ought to dare be a jerk and take PEDs, then the person are going to be forever branded the worst person alive.
