It's a complete witch hunt and if they want to put an asterick next to the record, go ahead but make damn sure every other accomplishment that was achieved in the so called "juiced ball" or "steroid era" is also noted. Remember Brady Anderson????? Wheres all the outrage about a a guy, who in 13 seasons had a career high of 21 HR's in 1992 and then miraculously hit 50 in 1996 and never more than 24 again????? Why isn't he being dragged in front of congress???? Some of you guys are jokes to think this was an isolated incident. It's been going on for decades. And to say that this takes away from BB's talent is insane....regardless of what you think of him, he is arguably one of the top 5 baseball players in the history of MLB. As for the OJ comparison, give me a break.....murder is against the "rules," correct?????? Allegedly using whatever BB is accused of using, was not against MLB rules. It's as simple as that.

On a side note, he hit 7 HR's in Spring training....pretty impressive for a part-time role player without his "juice."



Only time will tell, but McGwire wasn't half the ballplayer of Bonds. Big Mac was your protypical power hitter. BB hit for average, stole bases, won 8 Gold Gloves and 7 League MVP's. No comparison.

You need to take a frigging chill pill!!!

WOW...didn't really see where I attacked anyone but your response leads me to think I did. Care to let me know what it is I need to apologize for.....maybe I just need some sleep or one of your "friggin chill pills."

As far as opinions, I completely agree that everyone has one and is free to express it, but in this case people should be compelled to provide facts/proof before they condemn an individual. As you say, just my opinion.

Enough of this.
I think we're done here.
