It doesn't matter that everyone in MLB did not take PEDs. The fact is, most have, so Bonds performance was not done in a vacuum, and he certainly isn't the first player to cheat or try to take advantage of the rules to be the best.
I wish I had kept response on SABR-l about who used PEDs. Some listed all the "symptoms" that Maris suffered during his run to 61. He had all the signs that would today get labled as a steroid user.
People need to quit acting like Bonds is the first person to cheat. He certainly won't be the last. I hope all you people that hate Bonds so much have as much disdain for Cobb, as he was just as horrible, if not a worst person than Bonds and would do anything, including cheat, to be the best in the game.

I love pinatas. You get to beat the crap of something and get rewarded with candy.
