Combine the three and create an "official" thread.

by the way to those who said 50% of the fans don't like him after hitting 740, on the road he got a standing ovation in arizona, i think that stating that they speak for half the population has an ego problem...but that is jmo...tobin

bonds has no class whatsoever, a tremendous talent, but he has never been loved by the fans. He is arrogant, and even though he will break the record no doubt, i think his steroid use should take a lot fo the flare off of the record....we all knwo hammerin' hank wasnt on the juice. His home runs were legit.

how do we know who was on the "juice" they didn't start testing till the late 1990's and the ones that were on the juice definately won't come forward with any confession i am no scientist by any means but i know steroids have been around since at least the 70's if they are or are not so what, it is there body no matter how many steroids they take it does not make the ball any easier to hit, hell the pitcher is the one who leaves it over the fat part of the plate, it's not like these homeruns were hit on a pitch that was low and outside, they throw to a powerhitter in the meaty part those pitches leave the park it's always been like that, and always will be...tobin

Bonds is a joke.
Shoot up some more Barry.
Go break records that you dont deserve.

WRONG.
That's like saying a supercharger doesn't make your car any faster.... it's all about the motor.

you don't have to be built to hit a homerun remember daryl strawberry he hit alot and he was downright scrawny, any player in the major leages can hit one, even the little guys hit 2-10 a year it is where the pitch is placed to coincide with the swing of the bat that is it...tobin

Barry Bonds has hit plenty of home runs that were not sweet spot home runs as have some of baseball's other "big dudes".
It is absolutely possible and happens all the time where you just over hit a ball that doesn't hit the sweet spot and the ball goes (read home run).
Bonds is not even close to being in the same league as Hank and it's a shame that the home run record will be tarnished by him holding it.
Yes guys like Darryl Strawberry and Eric Davis were both lanky dudes who could hit home runs but that doesn't take away from the fact that being built allows you to hit more home runs.
