He thanked everyone but the steroids.

A milestone whether or not he did it legitimately, I guess.

I've always wanted to try and play professional ball. I never had time for it in high school and never went to college. At 22, I guess I won't be able to break into the game with no schooling. Ah well...

I still try.

how many years between rookie season and the last pic?
guy has not popped positive on a test yet...not found guilty...yet...but because the media says something people all believe it to be fact...lemmings.

He will be in the HOF regardless...if Ty Cobb is there with some of the crap he did...Bonds will be too.

That card was from 1986 I believe.

You don't think now a days with the money bonds has he cant sneak past drug test? Hell I'm sure there is plenty of stuff out there what wont even show up on test. Theres no way there system is flawless.

Will bonds be in the hall of fame even if he is caught? Ya who knows probably ya o well. But his recored wouldn't stand.

IMOP that kind of body and muscle growth is unbelievable to not be using some kind of drugs.

hitting homers isnt all about power, plate discipline is a big part and that is something he didnt get from roids. However the record is still bs cause he probably did cheat and hank aaron played when parks were bigger and seasons were shorter.

Interesting that no one mentions about the possibility of the pitchers using steroids as well.

exactly
what about every other professional sport record since the 60's.
steriods are a part of pro sports. why wouldn't they be, why shouldn't they be - if a couple of pills makes the possibility of getting a zillion $$ contract more possible - you'd be stupid not to take them.

The Bonds Rookie Card is a 1987 Topps. I have a complete set, but I've lost respect for both Bonds and his "God-Father Wille Mays". Each of them "cheated" in their own way. One did it in 1951 for a 1/2 season, the other since 1996.

I turned ESPNews off this AM because they were blowing so much sunshine out of Bonds' arse.

A-Rod will be the next one and will break whatever number Bonds sets. Even more remarkable, he is a SS/3B.

Will be interesting to see if he makes it to the Hall of Fame on the first ballet. I'm thinking they will make him wait a year or two after he is eligible because of the steroid issue.
