Barry Bonds now #1 on the Baseball List
The most controversial group of players in baseball history are eligible for the Hall of Fame this year and much like we suspect the Baseball Writers of America struggled with their ballot much the way we fought with our ranking. In the end, we made the decision to treat the Steroids Era as just that: an era. We will never how many players elected to take Performance Enhancing Drugs, but we know it was a high amount, and we know until recently it was not illegal under the rules of Major League Baseball.
With this said, for the second consecutive year in a row, our Baseball list has undergone a major overhaul from top to bottom. It includes many players who are eligible for the first time, and a slew of players that we have ranked for the first time, and possibly overlooked. As you can tell by the headline, Barry Bonds tops our list at “1c”; the highest ranked ELIGIBLE player for Cooperstown.
