World Series champion says it's 'insane' that Barry Bonds isn't in Hall of Fame: 'Nobody’s perfect'

MLB great Darryl Strawberry talks about the candidacy of steroid-era baseball stars on OutKick's "The Ricky Cobb Show."

If it were up to Darryl Strawberry, Barry Bonds would be in Cooperstown.

The 62-year-old eight-time All-Star was asked during a recent appearance on OutKick’s "The Ricky Cobb Show" if Bonds, among other players with ties to performance enhancing drugs, should be in the Hall of Fame. 

"I think if you look down the list of every player that’s in the Hall of Fame, somebody’s done something. Let’s just be real, nobody’s perfect. Everybody makes mistakes, everybody falls short," Strawberry said.

"When you look at guys, any guy that played, it’s hard enough to do that year after year and compete and put your body through what you got to put your body through. To see those guys not be honored for what they accomplished on the ball field, I think it’s insane."

"You can’t put some in and leave some out, you got some in there that people do know did the same thing, and then you're leaving other guys out, and you point at these guys and say these guys don’t get in. Well, why did you let the other guys in? You let other guys in who did things. Why not let those guys be in, too, because they accomplished a lot of great things on the field?"

Bonds, despite being a seven-time National League MVP winner, 14-time All-Star, 12-time Silver Slugger, eight-time Gold Glove winner, two-time batting champion and having the most home runs (762), walks (2558) and intentional walks (688) in MLB history, is not a Hall of Famer.
