To just decide 2/3rds of the way through your career...
You know...I think I'll do some steroids and become the all time HR champion, it'd be neat.
70? I think I'll take that record down too.
Because that is essentially what Barry Bonds did...
I don't think Barry Bonds did steroids for most of his career...he's too much of a narcissist to risk his health needlessly....I don't think he even really cared about the all time HR record. I don't think he ever cared about the single season record...I think he just cared about being Barry Bonds and that was enough for him....
But I have never doubted that while the rest of the world was celebrating McGwire and Sammy...Bonds was sitting there saying...you know, I know these motherfuckers are cheating and no one cares, in fact, they love them, I've never cheated and everyone hates me...I think I'll give it a try and see what happens...
And what happened was absolute sickness...
I'm not defending Barry the person...I think he's douche, a self centered douche and this record essentially means nothing to me now, even if Barry had been clean the record wouldn't mean as much to me now, just because he's such a brat...it's not a magical record in any way shape or form now...
But people gotta admit...you gotta be an absolutely sick fucking player to just decide you are going to be the all time HR champion at the age of 35....this doesn't take into account the 500 SB he has tacked on to it...
Oh yeah...and to take down the single season HR record as well.
The truth is...there was nothing Barry Bonds couldn't do on the baseball field if he wanted to do it...steal 50 bases? Not a problem...Jack more HR in a single season than any player in history? Sure...just give me some juice like all the other big hitters use now...all time record? Done...
At the age of 35.
Oh hell...let me throw in a batting title at the age of 40 while I'm at it.
I question his heart, his hustle and his team spirit, I don't think he's the best player of this era...but the dude's talent is absofuckinglutely unquestionable. IF he's not the most talented player ever...he's right there with it.
This guy was a legit 500 500 player with no steroids...the only one of his kind...
Ask yourself this...what if Barry Bonds had done steroids for his entire career, instead of 2/3rds the way through it?
