speak for themselves, and the writers unfairly punished him and players who have been suspended in the sport.
"Major League Baseball, and let's get this clearly and straight, hasn't had a rule, and has rules, whether they were broken or not broken, there were rules, some rules," Bonds continued."My era, there was no rules. They changed the rules in 2003 or 2004, whenever the rules started to change, there was rules. There's some people that were convicted of those rules during the case of those rules.
"Well, Major League Baseball said if you did X, you were suspended for X.… His numbers still are the same based on what he has accomplished that does not prevent him from the other part of getting into the Hall of Fame. It has nothing to do with it.… Major League Baseball already punished you for those stints. Why is the Hall of Fame punishing me? It doesn't make sense.
