Is there any reason that every hitter could not wear the same thing???
If it made that much difference ever big league hitter would have one of their very own.
For this to be true Bonds would have had to have been a poor hitter before he started wearing it. Bonds has been a great hitter for a long time.
Just another BS post.

Uh, yeah; there is a reason not everyone wears one. Because they are banned unless the hitter can prove the need due to injury but Bonds is “grandfathered-in”.
The author concedes that Bonds was a great hitter but get real. Up until age 37, he averaged a home run every 15 at-bats. After age 37, he miraculously exploded his HR production to 1 every 9.1 at-bats.
These Bonds apologists are complete jokes and need to grow up and stop idolizing these athletes who have cheated baseball history. Barry Bonds went from one of the best players of the 20th century (which he was up until the age of 37) to a fraud who used unnatural means to surpass Hank Aaaron, one of the great and honorable men in the history of baseball.
