Since the glut of PED use, the record book does not mean nearly as much to me as a way to compare players across decades, thusly records broken can no longer be celebrated nor should they be recognized.
Q: Would I rather see Rodriguez pass Bonds on such a meaningless list?
A: It would not matter one bit- I still consider Hank Aaron as the All-Time Homerun leader.
IMHO, the only two players who have reached 500 homers since 1998 are Ken Griffey,Jr. & Jim Thome. (My apology for not including Frank Thomas follows in later posts...thanks to some more alert folks.) While much of this is educated conjecture, it is impossible, at this point, to determine which performances were legit and which were not. Griffey and Thome's names were never brought up in discussions of PED usage.
