| Re: Big Papi not convinced Bonds is a product of steroids (good read)
Well that's the problem we are faced with in this era of baseball. We don't know what's legit or how much of what these players do is based on natural ability. I mean, we can never truly compare these players to the athletes of the 50's who didn't have all the specialized gyms to work out in as these players do.
There are two reasons why I'm so pro Bonds.
1. Because I feel bad how he takes the whole wrap on everything to do with this steroid era when you know probably at least half the players in baseball at the time of his incredible run were using something they shouldn't have been using. Something illegal.
2. Because I know he's an incredible athlete that I grew up loving and respecting as a kid when the Giants/Pirates were huge rivals of Atlanta and I know he was one of the best players of that era no questions asked. What he's able to do, get maybe one pitch to hit a night and hit it out of the ballpark is something that I don't think anyone could do...steroids or not. |
