Why honor Barry Bonds' career when it's been tainted by steroids allegations?

There are plenty of things in baseball that taint all the records. Better workout facilities, furthered education of training regimens, the more tightly wound ball, the reduced strike zone, film ysis, and rule modifications that have contributed to the records that have since existed. Imagine how many hits Cobb would have had had he had the facilities rose had had, but we still recognize Pete Rose as the hit leader and one of the greatest of all time. The reason we honor these players regardless of the allegations is because its just that, allegations. If someone took you to court for and it was never proved, should you be looked at as a offender your whole life? He still has a historic amount of walks, an insane OBP, almost 3000 hits, and amazing blend of speed and power. We honor him because he's a great ball player. Some believe he used, some believe he didn't, some people believe in aliens and others don't. We can't prove any of it. You don't have to like him, but no one will forget about Barry Bonds, and we will honor him for years to come.
