What,respect someone who puts steroids into his body enhance his performance?to get his name on top of the home run list when he doesn't deserve it.even though there won't be an asterisk next his name in which there should but whatever.he is 40 years old and now putting up the numbers he is.NOT!sorry,where were those number early on in his career.that's right wasn't using steroids back then.because everybody else was getting all the fame he decides he want fame too.he doesn't care about baseball.he just wants his name in the record books.just like Sosa.if you look at a picture of him when he was younger you're not even looking at the same person.Come on bonds is joke!so is steroids.how can you not know what is going onto your body when you put it on.he is a liar.there is a reason why people hate him.like he didn't know he was using steroids.Give me a break!retire already.no one wants to see him play anymore.yes,all these records have helped baseball.but all these records are tainted.the thing with Sosa is the same thing with bonds.look at the picture of him when he was young and compare him to what he looks like now.if Barry bonds did that at 25 years old and skinny like he was then that would be a different story.these people just got away with it.when they knew they wouldn't get caught.cant get away with it now so now we'll see the real numbers that these guys are going to put up.now that we know that there won't be steroids involved.what happened to Brady Anderson.his 50 homers.Jose Canseco,he had those numbers and confessed to steroids.why doesn't bonds and Sosa come out and admit too.thats right they want the records.because they already have the money.they just want to be remembered.they got away with what they could and now they're reaping the rewards.where were all these numbers in the history of baseball.none ever put these numbers.baseball knew what was going on and did nothing to stop it.bring in the fans and the money is all anyone cared about.not the sport or the records.its a shame what has happened to baseball.the records are nice to see.but now you dont know what records are real.
