I don't want to get into a "steroid/HOF/who juiced/who didn't" debate.......

But there are lots of different "steroids" out there. Not all bulk you up and make you stronger. Some help you heal quicker. Other's mask pain. Some will help maintain muscle mass as you age.


I'd be willing to bet almost anything that the vast majority of ALL athletes......In every sport....... were "juicing" during this timeframe. I mean, my sons HS football team was taking Creatine.
Well we KNOW he did it to a scientific level…hence the BALCO scandal that felled Marion Jones career. Prevailing point is that at an age when his performance should have been coming back to the pack, he more than doubled his power production. Borderline HOF talents (at least first ballot) like McGwire and Sosa disqualified themselves by their choices…so did Bonds. At least until a generation of HOF voters with values dies out.

He was never the best hitter. And he is a cheater. Just like Sosa, Canseco, McGuire and many others. See this is what you don’t get. The substances Bonds and others used weren’t around when Hank Aaron set the home run record. They were kit around when Ruth hit 60 home runs and drove in 158 RBIs. These substances were not around when Ty Cobb hit .400 in back to back years.

When you cheat it sullies the game of baseball. It forever tarnishes whatever you accomplished. Bonds deserves zero credit for whatever did after he started cheating. And he never deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. If Pete Rose can’t get in then neither should Bonds. Pretty sad that you have the attitude oh well because some other guys cheated donut was ok for Bonds. lol. Give me a break.
Where do we draw the line on cheating? Babe Ruth tried sheep testosterone to give him an edge. Numerous players including Aaron tried Greenies bc they believed it helped their focus/hand-eye coordination. A form of steroids was rampant in MLB in the late 60’s/early 70’s according to pitcher Tom House. Pitchers have doctored baseballs since the beginning or time. We had the sticky stuff scandal not too awful long ago. Many players have been caught with doctored bats. Astros stealing signs and the list goes on and on.
