Ted Williams was not exactly a beloved player either.
The Babe would have to work out in the gym for them to have an effect.
True but he did lose a substantial amount of time fighting for his country in WWII and the Korean War; otherwise, the home run total would have been elevated.
Don't mean shiite...
I would equate Mr. Bonds to a drugged horse or dog who wins a race. Such behavior calls for and demands disqualification!
***Bonds has said that could be a long shot considering he turns 42 on July 24, is playing on a surgically repaired right knee and with bone chips floating around in his left elbow.***
Yeah he is also not using the Juice any more so it is a long shot.
he wouldnt make a pimple on Babe Ruths butt.
The only person waiting at Home-Plate to congrat barry was the BatBoy.
Breaking=Barry Bonds To Possibly Go On DL-Elbow Surgery
APP-PMSNBC-NYY24/7ESPN-San Francisco: The San Francisco Giants might have to place Barry Bonds on the DL with what could be a career ending right elbow injury, placing him in jeopardy of surpassing the next two players ahead of him on MLB's all-time Home Run List.
Giants team physician said;"This elbow injury to Barry has been festering and growing in intensity even before his arrival from the Pirates, to the SF Giants."
"Since 1999, it has become a major problem, and has now gotten to the point that the injury to his right elbow, may have finally ended his somewhat stormy career", the doctor was quoted as saying to a packed news conference.
"We have tried to help Barry by trying to make the left arm and elbow try to do what the right arm and elbow has been doing that has caused this terrible injury, but are not having much luck, although Barry has been devoting at least 8-10 hours of every waking day with the trainers here with the Giants to make him practice with his left arm to take the daily strain of Barry's activities that are causing the problem."
"But old habits are very hard to break," the team physician said. "when you've been using your right arm and elbow to CONSTANTLY, ALMOST NON-STOP, PAT YOURSELF ON THE BACK FOR AT LEAST 15 YEARS, to the point of an almost permanent career ending elbow injury, it takes a lot of time to heal, and make your left arm do that work, but knowing Barry like we do, we believe he is MORE than up to the task".
The Babe didn't do it using steroids.

It's like cheating on a final exam. You succeed, and get your grade, but at what price?
He's lost my respect!
"Ted Williams: 521 home runs and two wars."
Now there's someone I want my son to look up to in baseball, or anywhere for that matter!
Thanks for the reminder of REAL heroes!
Imagine Harmon Killbrew on Steroids.
Or Mantle. ....or Jimmy Foxx.
There might've been some steroids in all those hot dogs he ate....
