yes he is and I dislike his attitude. but he is good its that plain and simple. if you really watch baseball and understand the game you understand he is good.

and a rod will pass him by 100+.

I'm not a Bonds fan, but I am a baseball fan. My argument is this; How many pitchers are under investigation or have already been caught using steroids that he hit one off off (#755). Hate him because his additude, but remember, not only were hitters juicing in this era, so were the pitchers.

Let's not mention corked bats, spit *****, lower mound, scuffed *****, pine tar, sandpaper, etc....your only cheating if you get caught. Plenty of hitters and pitchers have been busted.

his record more homeruns

but Hank did it in less games with larger ball fields with heavier ***** and regular bats with pitchers not throwing as fast of *****.

point is it took him longer and using all of todays advantages to get it done.....Paperweight champion IMHO

Babe Ruth had to have a pinch runner from home plate when he hit at the end of his career. Hmmmm..... seen that in the last 80 years on a consistent basis.

Games change. Babe Ruth also did it when the AL didn't have a DH. How many records are because of that. Do you really think Frank Thomas would have hit 500 without the help of being a DH? I guess my TBSS would be a fair race to a 79 Z28 because it gets better gas mileage, heavier, better emmission.... I guess it's like being on roids. Hard to compare generations. I guess Aaron taking 49 years to break Ruth's record didn't have any advantage to that.
