they may have put on a little bulk, but you couldnt watch a widescreen movie on their foreheads. Like I said, I dont care if its tainted or not. I hate Barry Bonds for reasons much different than anybody else. And as for the Van Slyke quote, you dont play as long when you do it naturally than when you rub "magic cream" (you know, that stuff "I didnt know it was steroids" bullshit he tried to feed everybody?) all over your body..I loved Van Slyke, he was and will always be my alltime favorite player, and Bonds resented the fact that VS was the far more popular player. So he played the race card and screamed "preferred treatment for Andy Van Slyke 'cause he's white", and got out of Pittsburgh. Bonds may have 500 more homeruns than Van Slyke, and may have far superior numbers, but Bonds will always be the biggest asshole in all of sports. I dont care about A-Rod, what kind of a prick he is, but when A-Rod breaks that record, I'll be the happiest fan on earth. But for now, I'm preparing myself for the blackness that will cover baseball until somebody breaks it. And if Bud Selig EVER does anything positive while he's running MLB, he'll put the damn * beside of the 756.

And where is Van Slyke now? I also know a guy that played in the Yankees organization and got to meet A-Rod and guess what....He said the same thing about A-Rod being an asshole. A lot f MLB players are big headed. If they put an "*" next to Bonds name. Then thay need to put one next to Ripken's name as well. Because NO-ONE plays that many in a row without alittle aid. What about an "*" next to Ryan. He played an aweful long time and just like Hank, put on some bulk near the end of his career and those were the days when roids were thick in MLB and they didn't test. So the way I see it. EVERY player from that era needs an "*" next to their name. :thumpsup:
