Funny but ignorant. People act like he's the only person to use drugs in baseball.

I don't see what the big deal is, even if he Bonds is using steroids. Oh noes he's gonna break Babe Ruths record and baseball will be ruined forever.

The real question is was bonds catching the syringe or throwing it off to the side of the field? U DECIDE! DUN DUN DUNDUNDUN DUUUUUUUUUN!

I was watching the game last night when it happened and was pretty pissed. Barry Bonds is the second greatest baseball player of all-time and I can argue that with pretty much anyone. If they ban him or keep out of the hall of fame it will be the biggest travesty in baseball history, even worse than the 1919 Black Sox scandal.

Interestingly enough one commentator from ESPN during the game was saying how it's in the past and he did it when baseball wasn't testing and therefore didn't break any rules so there's no reason to go back and dig things up just to "find out". The other two commentators thought he was crazy for thinking that and they felt that the only reason he's breaking these records is because of drugs...well at least 1 out of 3 has the right idea

Babe Ruth...he was hitting more home runs by himself than any other team in the league when he was playing. And this was after he was one of the most dominant pitchers in the game and then switched to a field position. Babe Ruth is seriously somewhere above mortal men but below a God...somewhere on the Herculian level.

how well do you think Babe Ruth would do today and how well do you think Barry Bonds would have done in Ruth's era

well if 99% of the players are using, it must not really be a "performance enhancing" drug......because the entire KC Royals roster blows donkey balls.

Well first of all Barry Bonds is not the 2nd greatest baseball player of all time, I wouldnt even put him in the top 5. Sure he is a great hitter and has a level of talent much higher than most, the fact remains that he is chasing records set by normal men 50+ years ago. When you factor in the use of performance enhancing drugs, it makes it that much more laughable. Barry Bonds would have been in the Hall of Fame had he never touched a drug. He was a consistant basehitter and was stealing TONS of bases back in the early 90's. Regardless he chose to use steroids. Lets be honest here, he knew what he was doing, just because steroids werent yet banned does not mean it was ok to take them and if you think that way you have a serious lack of reasoning. They were still illegal to possess according to United States law.

One final note, I believe Barry Bonds is the victim of a witch hunt. He was being accused daily of using steroids before there was even proof. On the other hand, he really didnt do much to help himself. He was hostile to the media, unwilling to explain himself and was usually very private. I believe he has as much right to privacy as the rest of us, but in his case it would have greatly benefitted him to open up a bit more to say, "hey I have nothing to hide." As for the fan who threw the syringe, I say give him the Pete Rose treatment.

That being said heres my top 5 baseball players list, Barry is somewhere down the line:
1. Babe Ruth- easy pick for number one 714 home runs(no steroids), .342/.474/.690 lifetime
2.Hank Aaron- on top of being my favorite baseball player he had 3,771 hits, 755 homeruns and nearly 2,300 RBIs AND .305/.374/.555 lifetime
3.Ted Williams- 500 plus homeruns, 2,600 hits and a .344/.482/.634 lifetime
4.Lou Gehrig- another no brainer, about 500 homeruns (no steroids), .340/.447/.632 lifetime
5.Stan Musial- great baseball player with 3,600 hits nearly 500 homeruns and .331/.417/.559 lifetime
