Before the juice: 1998 - 37 HR's
1999 - 34 HR's with a .262 batting average by the way ( I will note that he only played in 102 games this year but he was really showing signs of his age, note the batting average)
Must have been a heck of an offseason to get him back in shape. Look below.
With the juice: 2000 - 49 HR's
2001 - 73 HR's
I have very little respect for Barry Bonds. For me no record he sets will be a true record. It will be just a black spot in the history of baseball and the sooner Barry is gone from the game the better off baseball will be. Maybe then the game will begin to heal itself from all the wounds inflicted by primadonna athletes and greedy owners.
Barry is being singled out because he threatens 2 of the greatest in the game. Ruth and Aaron are icons in the baseball world and for someone to take away their records while not playing fair is just wrong.Manzerick said:But both sets of numbers are enough to get into the hall. He's a player from the word go and puts it all on the line to win.
I know the juice part has some bitter but it was widespread.... not just him. Let's not single the hate out to Barry because he is the most talented man to juice in baseball.
And you still respect him????????Manzerick said:LifeNRA - He started his juice in 1999 after he was jealous of Mac and Sosa and ruptured a triceps muscle from overdoing it...he showed up to camp about 20 pounds heavier.
To date I have not seen or heard of anyone or any evidence thatManzerick said:I lov Clemens...always have...always will.... so please don't take this as anti Roger but....
why does he get a free pass to break records? He appears just as guilty
Planterz said:Clemens is a total jerk. Remember when he threw the broken bat part back at the batter (while he was running)? Or the hundereds of times he beans people (or tries to)?
To hell with all the juicers too. My favorite ball player of all time is Mark Grace. Ryne Sandberg a close second. These were real players. I'm a big fan of Derrick Lee too, bummer he broke his arm.

They broke United States law if they took steroids.Manzerick said:We can fault the union, owners and even us fans but the truth be told, they did not break any rules, just records
