Bonds would have been a HOF, but he'd have nothing resembling his current HR numbers.
Mac was a true power hitter that really didn't need the juice to hit home runs.
Bonds was a true hitter, that rarely would have broken the 25 HR mark each year without juice, IMO. IIRC, he did it twice before he started juicing.
