No way! /sarcasm
Just think babe Ruth only needed liquor, cigars, women, and steaks.
Odds are Bonds corks his bat and takes Viagra too.
Shocking! Can't wait to hear how Barry tries to weasel out of this one.
...By 2001, when Bonds broke Mark McGwire's single-season home-run record (70) by belting 73, Bonds was using two designer steroids referred to as the Cream and the Clear, as well as insulin, human growth hormone, testosterone decanoate (a fast-acting steroid known as Mexican beans) and trenbolone, a steroid created to improve the muscle quality of cattle.
BALCO tracked Bonds' usage with doping calendars and folders -- detailing drugs, quantities, intervals,testosterone levels...Bonds used the drugs in virtually every conceivable form: injecting himself with a syringe..swallowing pills, placing drops of liquid under his tongue, and, ... applying it topically.
If Anderson told Bonds he was not due for another cycle, the authors write, Bonds would tell him, "F--- off, I'll do it myself.''
The authors compiled the information (through)..court documents.. confidential memoranda of federal agents...grand jury testimony..
Through 1998..Bonds averaged one home run every 16.1 at bats. Since then ... Bonds has hit ...one every 8.5 at bats).
...Bonds turned to steroids after the 1998 season because he was jealous of McGwire.
...Bonds..dismissed McGwire with .. remarks such as, "They're just letting him do it because he's a white boy." But Bonds ... decided he needed to dramatically increase his muscle mass to compete with him.
Erase his records. And McGwire's. And Sosa's.
Since Baseball is entertainment and the show is put on by paid performers, why do we really care if they juice up?
Major League Baseball has established a pretty strong precedent by keeping Pete Rose out of the Hall of Fame. Something similar could be done to expunge Bonds from the record books, though the truth of the matter is that any statistic from the last 10-15 years is automatically suspect.
Barry (and Sammy and Mark) didn't care about home runs. They just liked that Neanderthal look.
Sigh... so much for Heroes. Say it ain't so Barry, say it ain't so.
I mean, who'd of thought? Most guys develop a sagital crest and a massive jaw for crushing bones in their mid to late thirties, I just figured it was all natural. Like maybe he just started lifting weights.
Well, if, and I do mean IF- this is still unsubstantiated in my mind ("Some guy came up behind me in the shower and shot me in the ass with a hypo, I didn't think nothin' of it!") this is all true, it's surely a revelation. At least they won't be able to do anything to besmirch his wonderful, selfless, upstanding personality off the field.
