Fairness does not mean everyone gets the same. Fairness means everyone gets what they need.
Rick Riordan

Barry Bonds is the best hitter to play baseball no doubt. There won't ever be someone who is close to ever breaking that home run record. He walked 2558 and only struck out 1539 times which is quite incredible. Those stats mean that you are an incredibly good ball player. 

Even though Barry Bonds took steroids he never actually tested positive for the drug and during his playing era everyone was juicing the funny thing is it was actually called the steroid era. The MLB didn’t start testing for steroids until 2003 and David Ortiz was one of the multiple people who tested positive in a confidential steroid test. Barry Bonds was not. But for some reason David Ortiz is in the hall of fame and Bonds isn’t. Even though Ortiz never used steroids since that test in 2003 he still juiced much like many other player in that era. 

I get why the writers didn’t vote him in but it’s still unfair to Bonds, he hit the most home runs by far and will keep that record for a very long time. Nobody will ever hit 73 home runs in a single season ever again. It just won’t happen. He had the most power and hitting ability in the MLB for the longest time. He got robbed and should be in the hall. 

The fact that he is still the king of the home run title says something. The record can't be broken, it's just too large. Barry Bonds found a way to set one of the most crazy records baseball has ever seen and he still wasn’t voted into the hall of fame because he took steroids. So what, as I said everybody did and just to single him out for it is wrong. He is a hall of fame player no doubt.
