Well... if Ty Cobb had found a way to help him win that wasnt legal that he was confident he could have got away with... do you think for a second he wouldnt have done it?
I see Bonds becoming someone like that... someone that no one kind of actively likes, but someone who everyone respects and holds in esteem. (which is maybe the same answer as your Pete Rose analogy).
I dont think Barry Bonds is in the same class as Cobb, but prolly only one other man to play that game ever was (Babe Ruth)... I would guess that when the dust settles Barry'll be somewhere near the front of the chasing pack... he has to be one of the top 20 ever.
