witesoxfan Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Steroids or not, he's probably the best hitter many of us have ever seen. He deserves his own thread. And in this day and age, you can't prove who was and wasn't clean, so I figure a little respect to the man, even if he's a huge asshole. It takes a hell of a talent and a hell of a career to reach the record he's about to pass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BHAMBARONS Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 I had to watch it live... The best part of the game was him watching and admiring Miguel Montero GWHR in the 10th. I think it was priceless watching him stand in the box while he was being recorded as the final out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan4life_2007 Posted June 30, 2007 Share Posted June 30, 2007 Barry Bonds is the greatest player ever. Yes, I said it. I don't care if he cheated. EVERYBODY, except Frank Thomas, cheated. He's, what, 44 or something? And he's still dominating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes a hell of a talent and a hell of a career to reach the record he's about to pass. His record means nothing to me simply because he's such an asshole. I can't respect him or anything he does because of his awful demeanor. I couldn't possibly care less about anything he does. Luckily for him, he's so wrapped up in himself that I don't think he cares who likes him or not. Gotta say, though, the giant asterisk posters and signs people are holding up at Giants road games are pretty damn funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy had HOF numbers before he ever was accused of cheating, and because of the wimpy players union and management we have no way of knowing who else did or did not cheat. Without information it is pretty much a witchhunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonds has passed Ruth's home run numbers, but he can never surpass Ruth's impact on the game. Its an interesting theory, but I think Bonds ushered in a new era just like Ruth did. The only thing was that Bonds ridiculousness brought about the end of the drug era, while Ruth ended the deadball era. It will be interesting to see how long this reverberates through baseball.
