Your thoughts? Everyone knows wat curt schilling said. Should the comissioner of baseball be present. Should we even celebrate Bonds breaking the record or is this a Tainted record if bonds does break it.

755 homers is alot roids or not. I still think they should let Pete Rose in......

He might only have 500 w/o the roids, still great yes, but such is the basis for the argument against him.

I say put his name in the record books with a big fat asterisk next to it. That way we remember what really happened.

i don't really see how someone could do it and not have any regret about it...not a barry fan...put him in like white tiger said with an asterik...at the bottom of page * means steroid use...hah

Maybe I'm a party pooper, but so far as I've read they've never conclusively proved that he did use steroids. Maybe I'm all wrong but I always thought steroids were to make you stronger, build muscle mass, not make your swing faster, or your ability to see the ball any better. 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.

barry bonds in like his first 6 seasons was avg. 20 something home runs a season....he was known for base stealing and hitting ...always was a good hitter...but not a homerun king until he was using steroids...idk its just so blantantly obvious that steroids played a role in his body transformation...maybe not steroids but something...
