What are your thoughts about Bonds' pursuit of Aaron's record 755 home runs?
How do you feel about all this BALCO stereoid scandal?
Please keep this thread clean: no profanity, bashing or disrespecting any baseball players, etc.
Some tv networks plan to interrupt their programs to show Bonds' 755th
and 756th HRs live!
I've read somewhere that ESPN conducted an analysis of Barry Bonds home runs.
They concluced that without use of stereoids Bonds would have had 100 less HRs.
This means that now he would have about, say, 650 HRs and not 750 HRs.
This makes a difference, doesn't it?
This in turn means that he would never pass Aaron's record!!!
I wonder how many HRs Hank Aaron would have had if he had used stereoids:
850, ...., 900+?
Outside Miller Park a plaque in the ground commemorates the spot where Aaron's 755th home run landed.
In early June 2007 Aaron was asked about Bonds at the monument's unveiling.

In June I read an article in the San Francisco Chronicle about BALCO scandal.
This was an interview with the former prosecutor Kevin Ryan. Here are the main points:
- Five men were convicted including BALCO founder, Victor Conte, of conspiring
to distribute UNdetectable stereoids
- The prosecutor (Ryan) was investigating whether Bonds lied under oath in 2003 when
he told a grand jury that he had never knowingly taken banned drugs.
- One of Ryan's controversial decisions was offering immunity from prosecution
to more than 30 ELITE athletes from baseball and Olympic Track and Field
who had used BALCO's drugs, and keeping the athletes' names out
the public court files.
- In July 2006, Ryan also decided not to seek an indictment of Bonds for perjury,
choosing instead to trnsfer the case to a new grand jury for more investigation.
- Greg Anderson, Bonds' trainer and a BALCO defendant, refused to testify against
Bonds and has been imprisoned for contempt of court since before Thanksgiving 2006.
- Some of Ryan's own prosecutors believed that they had enough evidence
to INDICT Bonds without Anderson's testimony.
- Officials from the IRS and FBI unsuccessfully lobbied the Justice Department for an indictment.
- The investigation started almost five years ago and still continues!
************************************************** *****
It's interesting, isn't it?
Among those 30+ elite athletes Bonds is the biggest name.
Mark McGwire must be on this list as well.
Jason Giambi of New York Yankees decide to cooporate with the streoids investigator. -
There he must be on this list as well.
Who else?
Refresher
What Bonds told BALCO grand jury
What Bonds told BALCO grand jury
Remark
Bonds has never failed any steroid/drug test because
he used Undetectable stereoids and growth homones!
What do you think about all this?
Hank Aaron's record is a Sacred Record of all American sports and no player
who uses stereoids and growth hormones should be allowed to touch it!
What I have written I have written.
P.S.
Barry Bonds before and after (you know what!?)

ot comparison, all I can say is it's ludicrous. Although I do share Red's stance that drugs of any kind in professional sport should be outlawed, pot included. These are ATHLETES!
