September 23, 200520 yr And todays players dont have 280 FT porches. But they do have 400 feet to the fence in CF rather than 480, and 375 to the gaps rather than 425......and they also have watered down pitching due to expansion, juiced baseballs (and possibly bats) and juiced players. But today does have minority players, including blackcs (which were more predominant then) and hispanics. Yeah, this argument can be made for both sides, so I don't want to get into it, an argument that can't be won. Just making that point about the dimensions, since it's not fair to say "oh they had 280 feet porches" without point out you had to be a dead pull hitter or a freak of nature to hit home runs back in the day.
September 23, 200520 yr Dont forget about Bond's bionic elbow. Theres enough armor there to make 10 army flak vests. And, yes, the man is a cheater. And a fraud. And, I still dont think he is off the roids. IMO he could fail a steroid test(and probably already has) and it wouldn't be followed up on my MLB, in fact it would get "misplaced" or blatently thrown out.
September 23, 200520 yr Just for laughs, Bonds' career info (and he's not done yet). 13-time All-Star 7-time MVP (should have 2-3 more if the media didn't hate him) 8-time Gold Glove winner 12-time Silver Slugger 5th in career SLG% - .611 6th in career OBP - .443 4th in career OPS - 1.053 6th in career runs scored 506 career SBs 706 career HRs (never played in a "hitters' park" either)

What about the pitchers that took steroids and pitched to Bonds? I demand asterisks by Ruth's records as well because he never played against minorities.

The asterisks are like seeing a school calendar that says, "Winter Holiday" instead of "Christmas Break".
