Barry Bonds
"Baseball fans, like the writers, are gradually coming around. they know watching Bonds go deep is like watching the 6-foot-tall kid with the mustache strike out the side in the Little league World Series. Someone's cheating. ...The home run king has no clothes, and everyone knows it. In the end, the commissioner doesn't have to worry about putting an asterisk next to Barry Bonds in the record book. You can rest assured, Bud: It's already there."-- 11.16: Gerry Callahan, Boston Herald

Roids or not...the man can flat out hit. Personally, i think he is a prima donna SOB, but the guy can play the game.
Nice find Sears...

So he takes steroids and can hit the ball 475 feet instead of 420 feet? I really don't see how steroids can help a person hit a ball better. Can it make you run faster? Sure. Can it make you stronger? Yes. Does it gave you acne and back hair? Positively. Does it shrink your nuts? Absolutely. Does it help your hand eye coordination, vision and discipline at the plate? I don't think so.

I'm in your boat 21.
Steroids surely contributed a little to Bonds fantastic numbers, (warning track fly-ball outs turning into 415 ft. dingers) but look at the countless other players who have been on the juice that haven't even come close to touching Bonds' numbers. Like Nutty said, 'roids can only do so much.
Simply the best ballplayer I'll see in my lifetime and it pains me to admit it.

what sucks about bonds is that his strike zone is about 1 foot by 1 foot....
hell sears....you and i could tee off with the strike zone the umpires use for bonds...
it is the biggest favoritism in all of sports.....

Add in the fact that he gets to wear that huge chunk of body armor on his right arm which he dangles directly over the plate and his strike zone shrinks even more.

and he gets pissed when someone actually backs him off the plate.....who was the rookie pitcher down the stretch that kept throwing high-and-in and looked at bonds with a "what the fuck are you lookin at" glare....
damnit...he plays for houston.....but i loved it....
there are just some hitters that ask to be bent over backwards by chin music.....
