Thank God he didn't do it off of Maddux. What a shame that this guy now stands alongside Hank Aaron.

 

Steroids or not, he's the greatest hitter of my lifetime. I'm not a big historical guy, but this is still very neat to see.

 

And I still love his homerun 'trot'. Everybody else was wondering whether he got enough of it, he knew it the whole way.

Except we can throw out the "or not" part.

Well, ESPN should be ashamed of themselves, as they didn't break into the X-Games telecast to show the AB or a highlight. And Mr. Pratt....Bonds is the greatest hitter of his time, and it's not even close. So many players were on steroids, and he still dominated.

The game is LIVE on ESPN2... I watched it.

 

Also you can argue about if he was the greatest hitter of his time or of all time, but please please stop with the "even if" he was on 'roids nonsense. People who deny that Bonds took steroids need to hang out with the Flat Earth people.

A bunch were on steroids. Few as blatantly and defiantly as Bonds, but no -- Bonds isn't a greater hitter than Ruth, Gehrig, Williams, DiMaggio, Mays...you know why? He may be better -- and even that is dubious, in my opinion -- but he isn't greater. You can't be great being a cheat.

Were they allowed to broadcast it?

 

"So many players" does not mean all of them. He may have been the best natural hitter, but we'll never know.

You're replying to, "Bonds is the greatest hitter of his time".
