Title: Barry Bonds
Post by: perspicuity85 on May 09, 2007, 04:25:07 PM
For baseball fans:
Do you think Barry Bonds deserves the home run crown?  What are your thoughts on Curt Schilling's recent statements to the media concerning Bonds?

I think Hanks' response has been appropriate.  Nothing like a roid monster destroying the greatest feat in baseball history.  No wonder nobody watches MLB anymore.

Clearly he deserves it by virtue of hitting more home runs.  It's as simple as that.  

However, I think he cheated to obtain it - looking at the obvious body of evidence (pun intended).  So while he deserves it, I personally give him less credit.  Unless it is actually 'proven' that he cheated, its his. [:(!]

Bonds has admitted to taking steroids, stating that he "didn't know they were steroids."  The Olympics does not allow athletes to get credit for medals earned while on steroids, so why should MLB?
I'm an avid baseball fan, and I really hate the way the steroid thing has negatively impacted the game.

No way he deserves it...But he will get it.... If I was pitching it would not be from my hand....Chin music is all he would see if it was me......I don't care if it cost me my job....

To Bonds' credit he does have a sweet swing & excellent vision.  Roids wont help you hit for average & win 8 gold gloves.
