Ty Cobb and Babe Ruth did not face pitchers taking Steroids. Barry Bonds did. That makes it about even.

Since when did two wrongs make a right?

Not at all.

For that to make sense you have to compare what each player did against his peers. The babe kicked ass, far more then Bonds has over the years.

Even an elementary comparison of their stats as compared to their colleagues would confirm that.

Barry Bonds doesn't have 94 wins, and 29 plus scoreless innings in the WORLD SERIES as a pitcher. Before he juiced up he was a Hall of Famer. Now, he's either a joke, or one of those cheesy Sci-Fi Channel special effects from their Sat. night low budget flicks.

Thanks. I wasn't aware that raw muscle mass was an asset in pitching. Also, the pitchers seem to be hiding the increased bulk really, really well.
