Default Barry Bonds makes history

He just hit number 756. I personally think hes a great player and it obviously takes a large amount of talent to be able to hit the ball that far 756 times. Anyone agree or disagree?

it's incredible eye-hand coordination and perfect technique, that's for sure.

Agree, being a ball player I know that it's almost all technique. I've seen lots of players around 140-150 pounds being able to homeruns easy. It's true that power helps, but if you can't hit the ball......

I think the super rough baseball schedule of fitting in so many games takes it's toll on your average ballplayer. I'm sure noone's 100% for every game. Steroids and GH will most certainly get you close to 100% for every single game IMHO. Recovery will be thrown into hyperdrive. Do steroids help with hand-eye coordination? No. Will they keep you fresh for every game to hit more homeruns? Yes.

Definately agree! He was/is great without the roids. But, IMO, he would not have hit as many without them. A real shame.
