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.

Well, if we are talking about the playoffs.

Bonds legacy is his inability to throw out the slowest MFer in baseball history in Sid Bream (seriously, how is this guy in the MLB?) He was like the lumbering caricature) of stupid 70's stash white guys.

He beat Bonds' arse.

Contrast...

Griffey had the fastest run from 1st base to home in MLB history...at least by video.

It's a bullshite waY to judge each other...

But hey, it matters. People remember this stuff. You have to come through when it matters. We've been taught that forever. Bonds was a wallflower.

Because Griffey barely played in the playoffs through no fault of his own. The mariners only made the playoffs twice his entire career. The reds never did. His only other taste of the playoffs were when he played in Chicago at the end of the 2008 season. In 1995, he did hit 5 homerun in a 5 game series against the yankees. He also scored the winning run to beat them in game 5, which seems to be all you remember about that series. Griffey dominated that entire series.
