Did anyone notice how the team just hung out in the dugout?
When did he cheat?
BTW, lots of his teammates came out and congratulated him.
You don't seem to argue steroids, but you pick cheater?
I'm about 100% sure that he did steroids.
I'm about 100% sure that he was not the only one on steroids.
Steroids was not cheating in baseball for years. It was illegal in the US but there were no rules against in Major League Baseball.
If you want to put an asterisk next to Barry Bonds and his record, you need to put on next to a litany of other players from the same era including Roger Clemens and his 350+ wins, Sammy Sosa and his 600+ home runs, Jason Giambi and his 2000 MVP, etc etc etc..
Just because the guy is a jerk doesn't mean that what he accomplished is not impressive.
I'm not a Barry Bonds apologist, btw.
