I think he almost certainly wasn't clean during his peak years, but just judging the results on the field, he was possibly the best player ever. Bonds had a 37.6% walk rate and .609 OBP at age 40. Just mind boggling no matter what he was taking.

He basically admitted it.
He was mad that lesser players were getting the love.
If everyone was clean...Griffey and Bonds would have been the players of their generation by far.
But Bonds saw Mac and Sosa and flipped out.
Bonds would have always been one of the best but he got greedy and ruined his legacy.
I still think head-to-head Griffey was better naturally.
Bonds got all that east coast love...while Griffey was in purgatory up north. Seattle might as well have been Montreal at that point. That's why A-Rod couldn't wait to bolt.

Bonds had some incredible years. No doubt. But him likely juicing at all during any point of his career negates him from any "best ever" debate in my eyes. Especially when he was invisible in the playoffs until 2002 (admittingly Griffey didn't do much either). But Pujols was money in the playoffs.
