| I really don't know what to say about this.. After tonight he may very well pass Babe Ruth and then it's done forever.. Ruth will never catch him again..
It's really weird.. I've only been watching baseball obviously for about 15 years but it's always been Aaron, Ruth.. one, two.. and with all the controversy surrounding this I really feel like the game has been cheated..
I'm not even putting the blame on Bonds.. We've talked about this before. Steroids could make an average player..good A good player great.. and a great player Immortal..
That's what Bonds was.. A great player and now he's immortal. I don't know how much steroids helped him.. There were a lot of factors including smaller ballparks, and expansion pitching.. and then you factor in that he's not on steroids now and still will end up with a lot of homers based on total at-bats..
It's unfortunate.. People wonder why Giambi and Sheffield and others don't get as much flack.. It's because they aren't as great as Bonds is. It's that simple. Bonds has become the leader in all of this but I just can't justify putting the blame on him..
Many players from the past have addmitted that if steroids were available to them, they would have used.. Anything to get an edge..
I really have to blame the owners and the player's association more than anything.. It's too bad they are turning this into a witch hunt with Bonds because now it's just making things even worse for everyone. |
