Exactly, but Mr. 300,000 wants to argue otherwise.

Barry was on that HGH, which definitely helps with recovery/injuries.

I personally am glad he took PEDs; it was absolutely incredible watching him.

Not even CLOSE to what was going on in the 90s. False equivalency.
You think steroids and PEDs weren't going in in the 60s?

You think the levels of usage compare to the 90s? I'm sure there may have been some, but come on.

There were some that questioned Griffey on something.

Completely tearing muscle off bones his body shift like Bonds and his rampant injury rate later.

did not take care of his body at all. that's why he broke down


In Jr's defense, his playing style didn't help to snowball this. He dove into walls full speed.

Man, I wish Bonds hadn't got tied in to that. He was the best player I've ever seen with or without roids.

The 4 or 5 seasons starting with the 73 HR season, not sure why anyone woulda ever want that to not have happened.

He was must see TV almost every night, it was amazing. We haven't seen anything like it since...or in 50 or 70 years before it.

How do we explain Aaaron's HR rate at some of its highest levels at 38+?

Anytime an MLB player does that this day in age or in the past 20 or so seasons, we immediately question him virtually every time.

What? No one questioned Griffey. And his body ballooned because he flat out got fat. It was widely known Griffey never worked out. He got by on genetics for the first half of his career but his injuries and weight gain were caused by him not taking proper care of his body as an athlete.

Seriously? Look where Bream is by the time Bonds gets the ball. And why the frick are using one defensive play as your argument?

How do we explain Aaron hitting all those HRs at 5'11", 185?
