I also saw that Carlton Fisk hit the exact same number of home runs as Bonds (72) since they reached the age of 40. I guess Fisk was a steroid user too. And Aaron was just a year younger when he hit 755. Sounds to me like a lot of people have some explaining to do.

Of course you failed to mention that Barry doesn't play the next day game after a night game. He also missed almost the entire 2006 season. I'm willing to say Fisk played in more games and had more at bats. I'll also go on record that Fisk didn't walk near as much as Bonds.

I suppose you think Bonds just started drinking milk like those kids in those old commercials.

Fisk was a catcher. I seriously doubt that Fisk played every single day at his age. Actually I can pretty much guarantee that Fisk did not play every day at that time. He ended his career as a White Sox mostly so I can remember that his production had dropped off big time by the age of 40. As it relates to Bonds only in the last two seasons Bonds' schedule has been like this. After all Bonds' missed most of last season with a knee injury, he has been relatively healthy this season. But remember there has been testing for about 3 season and Bonds has never failed a steroids test. So we can assume all we like, but the only test he failed was for amphetamines which does not carry the same penalties and is largely accepted in the Major League community. Last time I checked the reason amphetamines have been a long used baseball drug and was even provided very openly but for some reason that is not "performance enhancing." And basically the affects are similar. Any drug that allows you to perform or feel "up to it" the next day after you are tired is just as performance enhancing as any other drug. All Steroids do is help you work out more and push the limit to lift more weights. Steroids do not make you hit the ball better or change your swing.
