Being an ameteur baseball player who has faced....?

85 mile an hour fastballs,no one can take away Bonds' acheivement.He can take all the steroids in the world ,that won't put the bat on the ball, especially when all you get is lousy pitches .If that was the case ,Jose Canseco would hold the record.Don't you agree Barry must be the only one in the world who found the "Undetectable Steroid",since he has passed all the tests?

I say God Bless him and I hope the next one is A-Rod.Records are made to be broken!

    Yeah. I think people use steroids as an excuse to not like the guy. Myself, I've got no problems with him, but I understand if people don't like him because he comes off as a jerk. I think he's just a guy, but for some they think he should be 'better' or whatever...that he should only say the 'right things' or something. I say let the guy be himself...not to make him be what I or anyone else wants him to be. I give him props. He could have done anything in baseball...stolen base leader, incredible defender, whatever. He was a phenom when he came in. He decided to go for the HR record and he did it. I congratulate him and think everyone should. It's an incredible feat with or without 'roids. Sosa couldn't do it...plenty of MLB players who took steroids couldn't do it. Bonds could. He deserves the accolades. And yeah, A Rod will beat him in the next 6-7 years if he stays healthy.
