I’m not surprised by this at all. Performance enhancing substances (such as what Barry’s been acused of using) have been around since before Hank Aaron’s time, and players were using them back then too. I’m not condoning or making light of their use. Just commenting on the fact that the complaints aimed at Barry are primarily because these people hat Bonds period.

Wrong. It has everything to do with the steroids. People want to be excited when somebody breaks one of the most hallowed records in baseball, so when somebody breaks the record through several years of cheating with steroids, that pisses us off.
