I'm sure everyone is sick of hearing/reading about Bonds by now, but this is a pretty good article.

The problem is that those who aren't out to crucify Bonds have already thought about a lot of this (I would assume anyway) and those who are, still won't. The Ted Williams example is spot on (might have been noted in the comments). They are both freaks.

Is this article really trying to argue that Bonds didn't use steroids or did I misread it?

I mean... it's a pretty well accepted fact that Bonds used steriods...


And I think he's one of the top 2 players ever. But the guy used steroids.

Personally, I'm fine with Barry. But I don't see how you can compare Aaron and Bonds late career spikes without even mentioning the parks.

A guy breaks a hallowed HR record, after having a power surge after age 35, and it is later revealed in a book that he admitted to using illegal performance enhancing drugs around the same time as his power surge.

He was hated by many throughout the country during his quest, booed viciously in other stadiums, and given a cold shoulder reception by the commissioner, the subject of snide articles in the press that proclaimed him to be the record holder in number only, but his predecessor was still the "true" home run king.

What may surprise you, however, is that I'm referring to Hank Aaron.

30 years later, the sports media revisionism tells you differently with Aaron, casting him in the role of hero this time around, while at the same time doing it all over again with Bonds.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. Life goes on, and the ball still goes deep, despite what anyone writes.

While I don't speak for everybody, I'd rather hear about the greatest player of our era than the oh-so-exciting 6 game lead the Red Sox have over the Yankees, which makes sportscenter unwatchable (amongst other annoyances).

Bonds admitted to using steroids. How is this still a question?
