I dislike Bonds and Henderson, but they'd get my vote on the first ballot. The off the field stuff doesn't matter to me. They're 2 of the best ballplayers I've ever seen. Rickey's by far the best leadoff hitter of all-time, and the best basestealer of all-time. Bonds is the best hitter I've ever seen. I take the steroid stuff into consideration, but it's not like Bonds was the only one doing it and he was going to be a HOF'er without juicing anyway. I agree with Ace, it's about what they did on the field to me. If not liking a player because they were on a rival team or you think they're an ass really prevents you from voting for players, you shouldn't be allowed to vote.
