Bonds, McGuire, Palmeiro and Sosa, cha cha cha
Barry Bonds is within striking distance of Henry 'Hank' Aaron and the alltime homerun mark. Mark McGuire has the single season record for Home Runs. Raffy has put up 3000 hits to go along with 500 dingers. Sammy was just a two time 60 plus home run guy who just happened to cork his batting practice bat. Sadly, the fact is all these players are cheaters, whether we can positively affirm this or not, we know in our hearts Bonds is a cheat, as is Mark and Raffy. Sammy is a liar with Raffy.
Barry Bonds is being held out of baseball this year for purposes to distance himself from the bad press this season on steroids. I would even make the claim that Commisioner Selig made a back room deal to keep Bonds from being found guilty for Steroid use if Bonds would agree to ride into the sunset and not break the Aaron mark. We certainly will see if this theory is based in fact when next year arrives and whether Barry finishes his run at Aaron. Much like i had suspected Jordan was quietly suspended from Baseball for gambling, I too suspect that Bonds has been asked to take the season off and avoid further controversy.
Raffy is a proven liar, Sammy is a known corker though the both claim foul. Both took a page out of the Clinton playbook to deny even the sun in the sky. McGuire admited to taking a enhancing compound that clearly added to his competitive advantage, but due to a technicality he skated from being a doper. Yet, I would argue he could have been creating an elaborate rouse to cover his prior use of Steroids. In any event, you would have to have been born in the morning, in particular, yesterday morning to believe any of these players deserve anything more than our scorn.
they have trampled over our heritage of baseball.
