Here’s an idea. Why don’t you try hitting a 95 mph fastball, with or without steroids. When your legs give out from underneath you because you couldn’t even see the ball, let alone get around on one to even foul it off, talk to me about Bonds being nothing without steroids. He was, for good reason having nothing to do with steroids, the best hitter the game has ever seen. He was intentionally walked with the bases loaded, and that says it all. Go Giants!

Sorry that is called Cheating and the bastard should be banned from ever being near the game.

Tony Gwynn, Robeto Clemente and Pete Rose might all have something to say about that - and that's just in the REALLY modern era.

You start talking about Ted William, DiMagio, Cobb and a host of others, I don't know if Bonds is even in the same conversation.

Plus, without the 'roids, I wonder how many of his homers are warning track outs, at best.

I've tried it, and it's nearly impossible. Bonds was indeed one of the greatest, if not the greatest hitter ever. It's a shame he felt he had to cheat, because he was already great.

Best hitter the game has ever seen?

That’s pretty funny. Perhaps not to people like Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, Albert Pujols...

...you know, guys like that...

...you know, guys like that who DIDN’T do steroids???
