GOAT!!!!!!!

 

[rawex5]

By far the greatest ever.

 

[jjs07]

You've got a poll for the best hitter that we've ever seen and you omit Manny Ramirez?

Sad part about Bonds is that he didn't need the roids. He was on a HOF path without them.

 

[do work son]

Cheater. It's a damn shame too because he was great before his head magically expanded in size. Didn't help that he was a major douchebag too

 

[finallyfamous]

Best ever?

JR.

Im not a seamhead, so I just looked up the greatest players of the last 20 years and I didn't see Manny on any lists but yeah he was great too

half the people here don't even like baseball, but everyone loves barry. imagine that.

 

[mister friendly]

But why should we hate Barry Bonds are all the rest of those guys from that era?

Thats like 10 years worth of Baseball

 

[TheGodFresco]

Greatest player baseball has seen.
Always appreciated, a damn Shame he didn't win a ring. **** the angels

 

[do work son]

But why should we hate Barry Bonds are all the rest of those guys from that era?

Thats like 10 years worth of Baseball

because not only was he them most egregious of cheaters, he was the biggest douchebag around.

i'm not saying you should hate him, i just think it's funny how he's revered on NT when he was a juicer, especially with his personality,

Please explain the bolded. How was he more egregious of a cheater than anyone else in the era? Because he was better than them?

I dont see how a player who is already an all time great baseball player taking steroids to become THE greatest is more egregious than a borderline Major Leaguer who takes steroids and becomes an All Star.

 

[do work son]

You don't see the difference between a player taking steroids just to be a below average major leaguer, and an already great player using them to propel himself to "greatest ever"?

nope.

breaking the rules is breaking the rules. if you knock one for do it, knock all of them. there's no picking and choosing.

as far as im concerned with baseball and steroids, it's not even cheating at this point. you're guilty until proven innocent.
