Feds finally end prosecution of Barry Bonds
Quote:
Ending this was the right thing to do. Bonds lied and everybody knows it, but I don't see what purpose would be served by prosecuting him and sending him to prison. I'd rather use the prison space on guys who beat the shit out of their wives/girlfriends. |

It doesn't take away from his accomplishments in MLB but it's certainly likely that he wouldn't have accomplished as much. |

Yet Bonds was a dickheaded juicer chasing a record. While McGwire and Sosa were heroes. |

Yup. Not to knock Griffey, but there isn't a damn person in the world that would dare put Griffey in the same league as Mays and the Babe. Everyone in the world knows Barry legit belongs in that group... just a question of if steroids taints that.

Unfortunately Griffey falls in that what if category.

Bonds was easily the best player of his playing era. They all cheated and he outplayed them all. Big ****ing deal. Put him where he belongs.....the HOF

Somewhat. It would have been nice to have an unjuiced guy break the HR record and Griffey really could have. But he still would have been overrated.
Even if we're comparing non-steroid guys to non-steroid guys. Mike Trout is a better pure hitter, base runner, fielder than Griffey and he walks more. The only thing you can say about Griffey is that if he stayed healthy, he could have broken the HR record. At this rate, other than HRs, in Trout's first 10 years he's going to annihilate Griffey's first 10. |

No guarantee he was clean. Every one in that era is suspect.

IF Griffey had succumbed to steroids or HGH, his career numbers would be absolutely untouchable. The fact that he did it without performance enhancers while missing a metric shit ton of games is unbelievable. His name will be amongst the greats, as it should be. |

I bring trout up because he is better today than Griffey ever was. If trout keeps this up for 10 more years, he could be in the same conversation as Mays. |

I don't understand what point you're trying to make. There aien't a damn person who knows baseball that would put Griffey in even close to the same league as Mays or the Babe, let alone Bonds. I get BOnds because he was juicing. But even though Griffey is great, he's really overrated.
