Bulking up I guess can help you hit a homer, but guys like Cal Ripken used to hit it out of the park, he did it the way Tiger does in golf, with quick hands. The guys standing in there trying to hit a 90+ mile per hour ball, you still got to see it and make contact with it to have any kind of hit, let alone belt it out of the ball park. I know I couldn't do it, and I doubt theres a guy on this board who could do it. Give the devil his due till they can prove absolutely he cheated, if they cant a record is a record.
It is the American Way. Guilty until proven innocent!
Like you, I have never read about any positive blood tests that show Bonds used steroids.
Anyone who played ball knows you need great hand/eye co-ordination and speed to hit a ball out of the park. Skinny guys can pound it out too.
