I agree pretty much with everything gonzo said (cause im a sheep, or shep....is shep singular for sheep?)

I actually dig barry cause he doesn't give a fuck what you think about him.He's a tremendous athlete who may not have broken the record without the benefit of lengthening his career with steroids but was a first ballot famer if he never put a single substance in his body. He was a great player before his head grew to the size of a watermelon.

Steroids will not improve your hand/eye coordination, in fact I believe the armor that Bonds wears on his elbow gives Barry more of an unfair advantage over other players than any drug could. The apparatus he wears allows him to release his front arm on the same plane during every swing. It also allows him to explode through the strike zone, by locking his arm and creating a fulcrum, and making his hands move quicker than other hitters who do not have the benefit of this device.

Barry gets less hittable pitches, and still manages to hit home runs at an obscene rate. He's an exceptional hitter that steroids plays no role in. Steroids may have helped some balls go further, and allowed his career to go further, but his armor is the most unfair advantage Barry has ever had.
