There's a lot of reasons Bonds' numbers are what they are, and steroids are only one of them. I'm tired of everyone saying "steroids don't help" because it's a crock...if it didn't no one would take them. Those long fly ball outs become home runs every single time with the juice, and Bonds has taken full advantage, but of course he's not the only one, so I guess that means he's the best geeked up hitter in baseball. That, and the watered down pitching and the gluttony of new ballparks with easy home run zones for left-handers to increase scoring and draw fans, has inflated his numbers to where they would have never been 20 or 30 years ago. Bonds is a good hitter, and no, steroids don't help the coordination it takes to make good contact with the ball, but I refuse to call him the greatest of all time because he's not. And the greatest player of all time? The greatest player of all time could, in his prime, throw out Sid [censored]ing Bream.
