Baseball's Steroid Era Villain Gets Rewarded | Barry Bonds Netflix Deal

from Ed Berliner’s ”The Fastest Show in Sports”

He is, without question, the single greatest liar and cheat in major league baseball history, and that's saying something. Barry Bonds emerged from the steroid era as the all-time home run king in the game, surpassing those such as Henry Aaron who never used so much as caffeine to set records. Now, Bonds is back and remaking his image, helped along by MLB itself and Netflix, who ballyhooed his being an analyst for the 2026 season, the networks first broadcasting games. Ed Berliner covered Bonds and the steroid era, and while furious he's getting away with it again, Ed knows this is all about money and the rewriting of baseball history to keep a new generation of fans happy.
