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.....

Why in the world would you make that outrageous assumption that the WHOLE LEAGUE is juicing? The whole league?....lol No wild assumptions there....(rolling eyes)
Just because the numbers are way up, the whole league,,,,EVERYONE?

Geeez,,,,,did it ever occur to you that ONLY the top home runs hitters might cause that big increase (Sosa, Bonds, McGuire, Palmeiro and a few others) because of THEIR juicing and not the whole league? The WHOLE LEAGUE? Heck, if the whole league is juicing no problem then--because Bond's cheating is NOT giving him any advantage, right?...lol

You need to check out his HRs per At-Bat. Damning statistic.

Everyone began walking Bonds.

Face it, Bonds juiced. McGuire admitted using andro, which was legal. If Big Mac is found to have used illegal substances, his records should be removed, too.
