fkwI also played. Im now 6'2" 228# at 40 years old and fairly good shape overall. I was 6'2" 185# when drafted 4th round in the Jan 1985 draft by the Expos. I played against Bonds many times in HS and summer American Legion ball. Bonds and I were the exact same height, I weighed maybe 5 lbs more in HS. A normal 18 year old athelete thats 6'2" will weight 20-40 lbs more at 40 years old, especially if he hits the gym a few times a week for those 22+ years. I was basically the same weight as Bonds in 1982, 1988, 1992, 1998, and now 2006. And I have never seen a steroid. Not saying he hasnt done any, just saying you cant go by his body. The guy has always worked out like crazy.
