Barry Bonds cheated.
Pure and simple.
I'm convinced he used steroids to get bigger, stronger and to aid in his daily recovery time. You don't go from 180 pounds to 240 in a short amount of time like he did without some artificial help.
Check out his head. Check out his body. It's pretty obvious he was pumping something into his veins over the years.
Sure, he was a great player before the steroid era. But I believe what he did added at least 100 home runs to his career total.
Not only did it give him extra boost on each home run, it aided his bounce-back ability at his age. It also helped him better deal with all the travel.
What it didn't do is help his attitude. He is still a miserable human being.
Hit all the home runs you want. In my eyes, you are a cheater and your record is tainted.
The stigma of how he achieved his record will forever hang over him like a buzzard circling its prey.
