Barry Bonds indicted for allegedly lying under oath
I guess the real question is, who gives a shit whether or not he took steroids? I guess I find it hard to take it seriously when baseball players are asked to testify in court about playing a game. For all those that think he doesn't deserve his record, or should be blackmarked with an asterisk, piss off. You take some 'roids and try and hit a 95mhp pitch. The man practiced his ass to be able to do what he can. (One way he learned how to hit better was by swinging without a bat, but with a glove instead, trying to catch the ball, thereby developing the crucial hand-eye coordination it takes to hit something that's past you in four-tenths of a second.) Steroids were legal in Hank Aaron's day, so who's to say he didn't use/abuse them as well? And can you really fault Bonds, even if he did use steroids, for wanting to be the best that he could be? Yes, it's "cheating", but where do you draw the line in the pursuit of perfection? And yes, I think Pete Rose deserves to be in the Hall.
