Bonds ties Hank... (1 Viewer)

[Tough As Nails]

A lot depends on the Mitchell indictments due in September. If Bonds is indicted, I think they should ban him from baseball like Pete Rose. Send a very clear and distinct message. If he's not indicted, forget the asterisk and let the record stand. With the way science and medicine progress these days, it won't be too long until someone invents a super undetectable steroid and someone obliterates all the records anyway.

If player X lies about doing steroids and then is caught...ban him 10 games. If it's found out Bonds did it...ban him for life. Oooooook.

Ha, ha, ha

On April 5, 2005, he was suspended 15 games for testing positive for steroids while pitching in the minor leagues.[1]. He made his Major League debut later that season, on July 20, 2005.

On August 4th, 2007, Hensley gave up Barry Bonds' record-tying 755th home run.

There is a very good chance that this record is broken in 6-8 years and we aren't really watching that big of a historic moment.

Nails, the biggest Bonds supporter in the thread, did make a good point. Everyone seems to care about this record falling, whether it's positive or negative, there are feelings of passion towards this.

Maybe everyone was doing steroids. We don't have the evidence on them that we have on Bonds. We also don't have the denial that assumes the public is made up of complete morons.

About him being "just" a baseball player... I think a lot more comes with the job. He is a role model whether he wants to be or not. I think the talent came so naturally for him that he took it for granted. He also came a HOF family and HOF family friends. Give the average Joe his ability and his success and I think much more is done off the field in a positive aspect(media, kids, fans, etc.)

Its simple, Bonds is an #######. He's an arrogant SOB that has always held distain for the media and fans alike. Why on Earth anyone outside of SF would want to root for this guy is beyond me.

If he werent such a ##### he wouldnt be catching nearly the same amount of flak from so many people. We're a very forgiving society and if Barry actually thought he's ever done anything wrong in his entire life, we might just be celebrating this record.

The reason why we donot have the evidence on anyone other than Bonds is because they are choosing not to look. I bet if you put the same investigation under Clemens, Arod, heck Brady ANderson you could find a mountain of info just like they did on Bonds

if what you need is an admission than pretty much everybody but Giambi is not guilty. I think even Palmeiro still denies it.

Or, even more to the point, where there's any evidence. Bonds hasn't admitted it, but there's a mountain of evidence that he did. So far, I haven't heard/seen anything indicting A-Rod, other than his size.And, that alone would not make me surprised if some real evidence came out on him. But, until then, he's nowhere near the stage of speculation/certainty that's tethered to Bonds.

I know you feel that it will get a * like Roger Maris record did.

There was no * on Maris' record. This is a myth.

Just like there will be no * on Bonds record. Bottom line fans at the time put a * on it just like they are at this point. So the * is a myth either way
