I'm nearly obsessed about the baseball HOF but I have strangely little strong feelings one way or another on Bonds and Clemens- other than to acknowledge they were elite players and inner circle talents even before what appears to be the onset (or escalation) of their PED use. I get part of the confusion is that they are flagbearers for a group of other guys with also Hall worthy eye popping stats that maybe you are trying to keep out of Cooperstown because they likely weren't all that good
I have little doubt they eventually get in via some mechanism (the other 'veteran' committees have picked up the pace in inducting recently more so that the writers) the writer group is too large to all wrangle into a single opinion and there were just too many objectors to ever win over before their windows closed
