We're supposed to not say anything because Bonds never failed a drug test. So officially he never broke any rules. Just don't get it, because you look at him, certain things are obvious.

He did it exactly ten times, Ty Cobb stole home 54 times including 8 in one season, both of those stats are still standing records.

"Babe stole home [I think] 10 times in his career. Has blimphead?"

I don't really follow baseball much anymore, but I do have some memories.

One day in 1988 (I think) I was in Baltimore (old stadium) sitting on the third base side.

I watched Marty Barrett take off from 3rd base and I recall saying to my friend. "What is he doing?"

That is the only time in my life that I ever saw a player steal home. That was so cool.

The Red Sox lost that night. That was the year that the Orioles opened up something like Zero and 18. I forget the nbrs.

Stealing Home is the most awesome play in baseball.

Are you serious?! I thought the Babe was overweight and slow. If he stole home 10 times he was truly a genetic freak.
