He definetly is in the top 10 right now. If he would quit right now he would still be a top 10 player. I trully am excited to watch him play, more than even sammy and mac when they were going for the Maris record. Mcgwire never had the appeal in my eyes. Sammy did and I rooted for him to break the rocrd more than mcgwire. Sammy is also a threat for 755, any man who can avg 60 homers for 4 years is a threat. Sammy also hits a ton of RBI's and hits for avg. But no one touched bonds, I am actually in awe of him everytime I see him.
The main reason is beacuse of his swing. Up until a year ago I would say the sweetest swing I ever seen was Griffey Juniors. Watching Griffey today makes me wanna cry, all that promise. The guy is only 32 and he has 10 more years to 42 and already is past 400 homers. But at 32 his body is just not holding up, his timing is way off and it's just sad. Griffey always had the most beautiful swing. Mcgwire always looked like he was jacking the ball it was ugly. sammy has a nice swing but it's also too raw.
Bonds has the griffey swing, he swings the bat like nothing I ever seen, it's pure poetry and a thing of beauty to watch.
Forget the homer to at bat ratio. With all his walks and power, bonds hit a homer every 6th swing of the bat last year. That's just sick, plus he is a good out fielder, hits over .300 and it all about the game like sean said. Whatever he says or does off the field I don't care. What I care about is I am watching history in the making. What Ruth was to game in the 20's is what Bonds is to us. We are watching something people will be reading about and discussing a 100 years from now.
