I know everyone in baseball is patting themselves on the back for being able to come up with a real steroid program. Let me be one of the first to say, too late MLB. Records are tainted now, players already have their blown up contracts (Giambi & Bonds), and any big player will be accused of steroids. To me, Roger Maris is still the single season homerun record holder. Bonds not knowing he was taking steroids from his good friend is a bunch of crap. If you look at pictures of 5 years ago of Bonds, you can see the spike of mass he gained in a short period of time. It was just a really good work out right. Heck, I would include Mark McGwire as being a steroid addict. I mean come on, he lasted two more years after he broke the record because of injuries. His body was breaking down from years of steroids. This record is now just a joke. Now clubs like the Yankees have to play Giambi this year because they can't get rid of him. I hate the Yankees as much as anyone else, but this is just unfair to baseball as a whole. He should not be able to play at all. How much is he going to make in the next couple of years, I think around 84 mil. In the next 4 years. What about Barry Bonds you say, he made 18 mil. Last year, and will be around that this year. He sucks as an outfielder, and wears all that body armor so he can lean over the plate, and is on steroids. He is on track to break career all time records and should be put out of the game to prove a point. All these players have now tainted all big time players in MLB. If someone were to hit 60 homeruns this year, what do you think the first question is going to be. I am also a dedicated baseball fan, but I know a lot of fans that are no more because of this suspicion of steroids in the game. Can MLB get these fans back after alienating them already. I think it will take many years to do such a thing. Good job MLB union. The reason I didn't mention Slammin' Sammy Sosa is because everyone knows how he got in the record books. He is a corky.
