Steroids and other PEDS had been used in baseball for decades before Bonds played but out of the hundreds of thousands of pros who came before and since nobody accomplished what he did. He played in the toughest, most talented, post-integrationist era known to man and he dominated while being clean. He was by far the best position player of his era with or without steroids.
Bascorasco facts
Bonds during that era was significantly better than prime Ruth, Williams and Mays. He was essentially a living video game cheat code.
vsmith3rd because he cheated...Ruth had less career at bats than Bonds and wasted 5-6 years of his career was a hall of fame level pitcher. Ruth hit 60 hrs in ballparks that had larger dimensions and he also had a career average of .342 Ted Williams .344, Mays .302 Ruth was a far superior player than anyone in baseball history because he changed the game and also was the literal complete ball player. Ruth hit 600 triples in his career and stole home 15+ times. Ruth also had career pitching record of 94-46 over 5 years. Ruth held the record for longest consecutive scoreless innings streak in the World Series of 29 innings for 30+ years. Bonds was a great player but Bonds needed the Steroids to even touch the numbers guys like Ruth and Williams and Aaron put up and still benefitted from the time he played in in terms of conditions and what he had at his disposal
Nothing before integration counts
@@SonofHsu16 nothing counts before integration plus those records aren't even accurate
Samuel Hsu who cares about ruth he didnt play against black players
@@michaelgray1803 I'll take Aaron over Bonds. 755
can we all agree steroids era baseball was better lol
Not at all lol it was way worse. Just cause meatball fans like to watch 500 foot homeruns doesn't mean we all do. Intelligent fans much prefer this brand of baseball.
slick 8301 .......agree, I miss players like bonds, he was the last player, I believe, that made regular season exciting to watch
It's not baseball anymore. Juiced ball, juiced players, bandbox ballparks, shrinking strike zone, lowered pitching mound. Now the pitchers aren't allowed to throw inside. No hitting behind the runner. No situational hitting. Batter swings for the fences regardless of the count or the situation; i.e. man on 3rd with < 2 outs; grounder to infield scores a run, but the hitter keeps swinging for a homer and usually strikes out or pops up. Hitters everywhere striking out 180-200 times a year and nobody seems to care. If all you want to see are home runs, go watch a damn slo-pitch softball game, for chrissakes!
In a short term effect, it definitely brought the excitement to the game but in a long term effect, lot of people stopped following baseball after PEDs were exposed. It's like the real estate crash we had in 2008. It used to be waaaaay easier to get loans to buy a house. They were basically handing out loans to unemployeed people. People took advantage of that or I should say abused it and crashed the real estate market. So what do we have now? People like myself who followed up to that situation and became an adult after that need to pay for the price and probably generation after mine will have to pay for the recovery. PED scandal was the Black Sox scandal of our era, it should never happen again.
slick 8301 Barry is the goat
Do steriods make u see ball better
Jerome Johnson Keep making excuses for cheaters.
@King Tubbzzz Steroids aren't a magic pill. They don't "make you strong."
Likely their greatest asset are regarding more endurance and faster recovery time. This WOULD mean that he could stay strong for a lot longer, which includes both on the field and in the weight room, where his real muscle would be gained.
So true I got spoiled on the steriod era I stopped watching around 2005
Barry Bonds is a Hall of Famer , he was one before steriods and he was never caught dirty so y keep out him or Pete Rose
Bonds also walked ALOT
Colin Coward looks like that Semi Boss in a movie that doesn't speak much until his fight scene towards the end of the movie
WTF does "cattle steroids" mean? This guy knows nothing about PED use.
He is implying trenbolone
Of course baseball has changed. Look how boring it is now. Also baseball is a hypocrite sport. Why were we watching the homerun derby ? To see how far they could hit homeruns.
it was FUNNNNNNNN!!
Herd says he watches soccer but not baseball. How did he get a job talking about baseball?
What is mind boggling is that people like this guy will say, I came into baseball during the steroid era and I don’t know any other way, and I’m bored with baseball today because they don’t take steroids. These people are so stupid that they don’t even know how ridiculous they sound. In other words, they’re saying, I’m so shallow and so deprived of common sense, I actually think it’s better for people to cheat at a sport to achieve unrealistic results because I was born into that era and I get bored watching the reality of clean athletes competing. I would rather see athletes juiced up on drugs because it makes the game better when one man, built like a refrigerator, can hit 70 home runs in a season. My God, have the youth of this country totally lost their capacity to rationalize what is right and just compared with illegal doping of athletes, not to mention all the terrible side effects on the body. That takes all the competitiveness out of a sport. No wonder why baseball took a hit in those days. There is also a good case to make about Bonds being in the hall of fame with those unrealistic numbers. It’s Cheating and it’s wrong!
I am with you 100% i love pure numbers in sports and hate cheating
Shut up old man. Let people enjoy watching pro wrestlers crush 500 ft homers in peace.
I have never hit a thumbs down on any You Tube video, this was tempting, is it me or is this guy hard to listen to at times?
I think the 1968 year was more exciting when pitching was at his best.
Gibby 1.12 ERA.
Ted Williams was asked once what advice he had for young hitters. Besides the usual advice of tons of practice, Williams put it this way: "Get as strong as you can. The stronger you are, the quicker your bat. The quicker your bat, the longer you can wait on a pitch. The longer you can wait on a pitch, the less often you'll be fooled, and the less often you're fooled, the more often you'll hit it solidly". That's what steroids did for the hitters. That's why Bonds did something nobody in the 148 year history of professional ball has done; had his peak power seasons after age 35. World class cheater.
buckfan1969 world class goat
Ted Williams ironically enough was a fan of Bonds and admired his swinging mechanics which largely resembled his. The guy was one of the greatest all round position players in the history of the sport whether you want to acknowledge it or not.
buckfan1969 GOAT
Double M Williams died in 2002 before Bonds roids story came out so I don’t think Ted would have given his stamp of approval then
Well a weightlifter should be home run king
When was it proven or admitted
None of this matters, cheaters are cheaters....DONE!
A couple ??? We don't know how long BB had been on the juice, only he does, but I'm sure it was for quite a while, not just a couple of times. The point is HE DID IT, and that makes him and everyone else who did cheaters!
Connor it doesn't matter, they are banned by the league and are aa form of cheating. We can debate how effective they are but I hope we can agree it is cheating at some level.
If you cheat on one question for a test you would otherwise get a 98% on, you get a zero. You cheated. It doesn't matter if it was for one question or not.
Connor ok how hard do you have to work out and how often do you have to work out to grow in head size and gain 30 pounds during a offseason
Youre an idiot
