And how many others on that home run list (non-juicers, that is) started out as base stealers and transitioned to home run hitters? Darn, Maury Wills should have made that transition....lol

Okay, from 1993-1997 (pre "juice" per the article), Barry Bonds hit 198 total home runs. From 1998-2002, he hit 239, an increase of 20.7%.

During the same time spans, the total number of home runs in the National League increase from 9,788 to 14,013, an increase of 43.2%!!!

Obviously, the WHOLE LEAGUE IS JUICING! LET'S BAN THE NATIONAL LEAGUE!!!!

Or maybe get some better pitching, or not be so quick to expand the league and dilute pitching, or not let the marquee pitchers get older as marquee hitters are reaching their primes.....
