    Pete Rose. While what he did was definitely wrong, he didn't have to cheat to become the all-time hit leader.

    I agree. I don't like what Pete did and I also don't like that he hasn't been completely honest about his actions. However, I appreciate his physical ability and contributions to the game. He didn't steroid his way to the record books unlike Bond, McGwire, A-Rod and many others.

    Bonds broke the record using illegal substances. The heck with him. As far as I am concerned, Hank is still the champ and will be until someone with integrity passes his mark.

    Bonds.

    And to those who believe illegal substances should be a prerequisite to being in the HOF, ALL players in the era before steroids were banned, were using all sorts of illegal substances. Amphetamines most notably. So if you're going to smug Bonds for it, might as well do Hank Aaron as well since he was on amphetamines too.

    And out of all people, who though Rickey Henderson was "natural"?

    outhomer? Yes. One day. All time HR, as difficult as it is, is more likely to happen than all time hits. Pete's record is just insane.
