Re: Disgusted with Bonds?

I've moved this to Other Sports.

Ideally, you'd like someone like Ken Griffey Jr. to have gotten the record. And A-Rod could end up crushing the record anyway.

However, like Hoo said the general consensus is that whatever Bonds has used he didn't start using until after 1998. And if you cut off his career at that point he'd still be a Hall of Famer.

Furthermore, what he did may have been immoral but he didn't do anything that no one else could have done either. It's not his fault it was available and MLB chose not to test for it. As we've seen in the past couple of years pitchers have probably been the worst offenders of steroids abuse anyway.

The fact that he is a surly person makes it worse for Bonds but he shouldn't be found any more guilty than all those other players of that time that had access to and allegedly abused steroids.

This, to me, is just like the salary cap/revenue sharing issue. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Baseball needs Selig gone
