Will the Same Thing Happen With Bonds, and Other Modern Players That Has Happened to Old-Timers?

Question by =smokeL: Will the same thing happen with Bonds, and other modern players that has happened to old-timers?
Where your sins and unlawful actions somehow get lost throughout the years?

Barry Bonds has been bashed endlessly for being rude, using drugs, and other things. Nothing Barry has done has been remotely different than what other players in the past have done. Any-time a modern player, Bonds or no Bonds, is involved in some kind of controversy, it becomes a big issue. People want these men immediately pusnished, and treat them like pariahs. Yet, when you bring up the faults of old-timers such as Cobb ( racist, allegedly threw games), or Aaron ( Admitted in his book “I had a hammer” to using amphetamines), you get called a racist, or are accused of being bonds apologist.

Why is it baseball fans, especially the old-timers, find it so hard to believe their hero’s were just as “bad” as Bonds, and in many aspects worse? Do you think in the distant future, today’s modern players will be looked upon in this fake mythical light like the old-timer’s are now?
More evidence: Gaylord Perry admitted to doctoring the ball, which is cheating. Yet people treat the man like a king. Same goes for Whitey Ford. They found amphetamines aka “red juice” in Willie Mays locker, yet everyone always slobbers over his numbers.

What are you talking about? Those older players weren’t violating rules of the MLB. They may have been bad people, but that didn’t make them bad ball players because their actions within the game were allowed.
