Default O/T Barry Bonds announces retirement

Posted By: fkw

Bonds is most feared hitter ever! Give him a little credit. At 41 he still is the best pure hitter today. If he gets 400 ABs he will be MVP (again). He will hit a HR every 7-8 times up, and hit .350 on bad knees with a shift on and facing lefty specialists in one of the toughest ball park for HRs in league. Its funny how much of the east coast (and LA fans) hates him. Give him some credit. He's had an awesome career.

Bonds is just as strong now as he ever was, and he is a few years removed from the so called steroid use. He is now same size, same bat speed, same feared hitter. He works out as well as anyone, and his stats since 2001 prove it. Take 1/2 the players out of the Hall then. Players from the 1950s-70s used greenies (meth). Players from early 1900s used cocaine (and again in 1980s). No night games, no Negro players, every era had its advantages. Babe Ruth was so much better than players of his era just like Bonds IS so much better than players of his era. Thats what makes them the best 2 players ever, period! Hate him if you want, make your excuses..... aint going to change history.


PS A-Rod will have trouble reaching record if he plays in NY much longer.
