Default O/T Barry Bonds announces retirement

Posted By: Anson

Fact:

Barry Bonds = the only player/athlete to ever get better after the age of 37 in ANY sport. Ever!!!!

I won't pour gasoline on the debate but greenies can't be compared to steroids. Steroids can be used for bulking, recovering, reducing inflammation. They have long acting steroids that can show compounded benefit. Using a narcotic doesn't have anywhere the same impact on the body. Especially when we're talking about athletes who are beyond their prime years.

Yes, many players took steroids. Most we probably don't know about. But, we're also talking about writing history books. It's not like one MVP award or a Brady Anderson career season. This is someone setting a curve once again. Bonds is and always has been a HOF talent. It's sad that he's diminished his career by having to take it a step further. He would have already had his place in the Hall and done it with class.
