With banned substances dominating the narrative of modern baseball, it can be easy to forget how we felt about the fallen legends of the game before their misconduct came to light. That's why this week, we bring you a 2001 interview between slugger Barry Bonds and legendary sportscaster Bob Costas. The two talk about many important issues that face any well-known figure, such as legacy, perceptions and misperceptions, and redemption in the eyes of the public.

Whether you side with the players or the prosecution, we hope you enjoy this Video of the Week.
