Had to respond to this one. I don't even really like baseball, as I prefer to watch football or basketball, but Barry Bonds is my favorite player. I have followed him since he played with Pittsburgh, and have to disagree that he is a "disgrace". I will be celebrating when he breaks the record. I am not commenting on the steroid issue except to say that I am not Barry Bonds, and I did not witness him take anything. I do not know if steroids helped him acheive the level he has in MLB, but who is to say what any player took, past or present? If steroids are so great, and you are able to take them, not get caught, and gain such an edge in a sport, then why isn't everyone on them? And why isn't everyone a professional athlete? I say it is because while steroids may increase strength, they do not increase skill. A great deal of skill is required in many sports, and if you lack that, there aren't enough steroids in the world to make you a pro.
