Throwdown Challenge

Richard Arnold

I'm a college student at Ball State. I enjoy just about every sport possible, and absolutely love to debate about anything.

Barry Bonds must get in the HOF.

After much thinking, I have come to my stance on the issue of Barry Bonds and the HOF. I believe that it would be irresponsible for the HOF to keep him out. I also believe that any reference to the steroids "era" would set a precendent that the HOF could not reverse. The HOF, for the good of the game, must allow him in. And they must do so without any attempts at bringing up the circumstances which he entered under.The HOF has a responsibility. That responsibility is that they, first and foremost, are supposed to hold up the history of the sport. This is a job that is bigger then any…
