I think it will be longer before Barry Bonds gets in. Call me a pessimist, but I think that somehow, some way, a distinction will be drawn between Clemens and Bonds that allows Clemens into the Hall while Bonds continues to burn at the stake. Which will be an absolute travesty.
Here is the difference:

One is black and the other is white. Do you think it is a coincidence that the most hated ahletes in America is almost always a black man? Barry Bonds, Muhammad Ali, Pacman Jones, Terrell Owens, Randy Moss, Latrell Sprewell, O.J. Simpson, Ron Artest, Kobe Bryant, etc..

Coincidence? I think not.

Let's be clear, Barry Bonds probably didn't do anything worse than what other players in MLB were doing. It just happened that Barry Bonds lab was the only one raided. That's the only difference.
