What do you all think of that? He was originally booed when introduced before the game, bu received a standing ovation when he hit number 714.

 

.....he doesn't deserve any standing ovation.....

 

It took Bond many, many more games and drugs to finally tie a record that he never really broke. Personally in my opinion for him to tie or break the record he would have had to do it in the same amount or fewer games then did the Babe…

 

I wonder what number he'd be at if he hadn't been on the juice for so many years?

 

Babe was on the juice too.

 

 

different ***** parks, different ball constuction, different bats constructions, different pitching mound heights, pitchers on roid throwing stonger, does it really matter if he was on roids or not?

how many others are on roids and why arent they breaking the record as well?

i think it blows as well, it is just "what are going to do about it"?

i personally think the ball construction, ball field design and nutrition play a part in this as well.

 

They didn't do that back then, did they?

 

Nutrition, hell yeah. Babe was a smoker and a drinker. Bonds is a roid poppin freak, and he just now caught up to Babe. Imagine what Babe would do if he was alive today.

 

Juice=beer for the Babe.

 

Oh...OK...... Well beer is cool.

 

Everyone talks about Bonds and the Babe (greatest slugger ever imho), but there is someone else who has 39 more career Home Runs than either one of them, and I don't believe that he ever used steroids.

Any sports record that is set and holds up for as long as Babe Ruth's HR record did has to deserve my respect. When Hank Aaron came along to break the record he did it without this kind of controversy... they are Major League ballplayers in the best sense of the word.

Bonds has become some kind of a mutant, which is sad, because his dad was more like Ruth and Aaron in terms of what Baseball is supposed to be all about.

Bonds may well become the career HR leader someday, but to me he will never be the "Home Run King"

I wouldn't even want a Barry Bonds autograph in my collection.

The sad thing is that he has (or had) the skills to have been one of the best ever without the controversy had he had the class and character to go that route.

 

When he has an enlarged heart and has to have open heart surgery at a young age, all the roid accusations will be proven true. The same happened to Arnold, he then admitted to steroid use. You cannot compare someone like Barry Bonds, who has zero class to any real champion from that era. Steroids make a good athlete a great athlete. Barry Bonds has gotten bigger, faster and much stronger and it is because of performance enhancing drugs. Athletes are paid too much while Cops, Military and
