SF Giants: How should history judge Barry Bonds in the future?

Barry Bonds was one of the most dominant hitters in the history of the game in his years with the SF Giants and Pittsburgh Pirates.

Despite his greatness, Bonds has not been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame due to suspicions of performance-enhancing drug usage late in his career.

Whether Bonds ever finds his way to Cooperstown or if he is destined for eternal exile with Pete Rose, Roger Clemens, and others, few should doubt just how good of a hitter he indeed was.

Imagine 80 years into the future, when the Steriods Era of baseball is a long-distant memory, a mere footnote in time.
