Everybody knew. It was the big wink wink of the baseball world and how much impact did it have. How many Home Runs does using steroids account for? Does it even help you hit homers? That's what I question. I don’t think it’s a cop out, I think it’s a fact. Everybody knew. It was the big wink wink of the baseball world and how much impact did it have.

However, he obviously used them. That they were technically not against the rules is a cop-out, in my opinion.<br /> <br /> What's so dissapointing about Bonds is that he didn't need them. Sure, he probably wouldn't have hit 73 or broken Aaron's record. But he still would have been the only 500-500 player ever and a great defensive player. He could have been the example of the complete baseball player, rather than the hulking McGwire/Sosa swing and miss homerun hitter. The steroid scandal would have helped his case even more as the greatest player ever. Instead, he chose to become just another cheater.

Or at least he was until he turned into a cartoon. Here's a guy that could do it all and do it better than pretty much anyone else, and he traded it all so he could hit 73 home runs.<br /> <br /> I feel sorry for him. He apparently didn't know how good he had it. Bonds is a Hall of Fame player. Or at least he was until he turned into a cartoon.
