simply the best ever

best baseball player in the last sixty years. you have to go back to williams & dimaggio to find anyone who COMPARES with him. millions of players all over the country took steroids, including hundreds of MLB players. why weren't any of them close to the caliber of bonds? it's cause bonds worked harder than all of them. bonds' greatness can't be attributed to steroids.

darkdmj18, if you want to call my comments dumb, please do. I can live with that. You appear to be a smart fan to me who may not fall for the media blitz on this issue. And I would commend you for it. i'm sorry if "average fan" seemed to braod a term. Perhaps you're right, it may be. It just doesn't appear that way to me. Enjoy the game.

Yes, Bonds can be booed everywhere. It's natural. I'm just saying it appears, in my view, that a lot of fans, who are booing the steroids thing right now, turned a blind eye in '98 and don't want to admit that their lack of backlash helped encourage the players and MLB to do nothing that led to this whole mess. Let's all admit it. We knew it was happening. We didn't care. We wanted to see 30-90 year old records fall. And we did. Now the majority, it appears, don't want to admit to this.

I look at Bonds as no different than Eminem, Snoop, Robin Williams, Steven Tyler or any other big entertainer. If he's doing some illegal drug, let him hurt himself. Someone's got to be the goat who shows why you don't do this stuff. Alright, Bonds can be a jerk. I don't hear many bad things said In Boston about Ted Williams. He was the Bonds of his day, cranky, surly, distant, yet you'd give anything to watch him.

I'll give the Montreal fans credit. When the strike happened they never came back. Period. They sent a message loud and clear that very few can stand by because of the irresistable entertainment the game can present. Especially big records being broken. I'll admit, my supporting McGwire in spite of andro, along with most other fans, only encouraged MLB and the players to keep what they are doing. However, I didn't flip-flop because steroids suddenly became so big and evil. I wanted entertainment

For your information Einstein, I AM a purebred American citizen. Congratulations, you go to games to watch the game. Maybe you're one of the very few like me who actually doesn't complain about inflated salaries while knowingly supporting them at the same time with ticket purchases. if you are, I'll be the first here to give you a thumbs up because it SEEMS like most people bitch about the salaries and tickets costing too much, yet keep going to the games to support them.

once you said "average American sports fan" i knew your comment would be dumb. and i was correct. why would you assume people go to games just to boo a player. it may surprise you but people actually buy tickets to ... WATCH THE GAME.

so you can kiss our American asses

It never ceases to amaze me how stupid the average American sports fan is in that they look at this man as a disgrace and a cheater and his salary is too high, YET these same pouters about-face, and somehow don't find it too phony to buy a ticket to this game knowing that their ticket purchase DIRECTLY supports the salaries of these athletes. I call these very people...fans*. Notice the asterisk next to them? They don't count either, at least the phony ones, that is.
