My feelings for Bonds are not a secret. I know he's old but his cavalier attitude on the field is frustrating as hell. With the shift they put on him at the plate, he could lay a bunt down the third base side and mope to first - maybe even pull out a double. A forgotten Bonds gem is how he essentially lost the 2002 World Series with his "golden glove" in game 6.
That being said, if I juiced up would I be able to hit home runs? Can we all admit that home run hitting does require strength, but all the strength in the world is pointless if you don't have the bat speed or the eye needed to make contact? If players argue that 'roids can make the difference between a hit caught on the track or a hit a few feet in to the stands, how many homeruns of Bonds' does that account for?
Again, don't get me wrong. He's a poisonous scoundrel that is as far from an MVP as possible, but doesn't he deserve a little respect for having the bat speed, the control, and the eye necessary to hit 756+ homeruns?

He may have the record, but he'll never be considered a legend of the game or revered in any way, which I suspect is what his ego really craves.
I agree that roids aren't the only thing that influences how well someone can hit a home run, but it can only help you if you've got the other skills.
Jackass.
Actually, I was listening to Tony Gwynn talk about this a couple of years ago when all of the Balco stuff started and apparently some of these steroids actually aid in visual acuity and depth perception. He said that it freaked him out when these guys were telling him about it. Additionally, the variety of steroids that are available to these guys affect different things. They become bigger, faster, better athletes. So those drugs did more than add strength, they help in all aspects of the game.
Oh, yeah, Bonds is a bastard.
