while I hate the guy, u can't deny what he did before he mysteriously added all of that muscle in a year or 2. didn't he win multiple mvps before 98? he's the only player to have 500 home runs and 500 stolen bases, was averaging 25-35 hrs a season, and he used to be a decent to good fielder at one time as well. I hate him as a person from some of the things he's said, I hate the way he acts like he's better than everyone else and is above reproach, and I hate how he's one of the biggest frauds in pro sports, but I can still acknowledge his accomplishments pre-huge forehead and bulging biceps.

I read on Espn that some argue Ruth should have an asterisk, because he played in a segregated game. Interesting point reagrdless of your view on Bonds.
