Dont worry man, A-Rod will have that crown eventually, and I'm starting to hope he stays a yankee for it too haha. I gotta agree with you on the body armor thing, I was reading an article today that said it would take 75-100 home runs away from Bonds if he didn't wear it. ( www.editorandpublisher.co...1003621797 ) I'm not saying I buy the fact that it gave him 75-100 homers, but I gotta say its got alot to do with the outside pitches.

As for Bonds, I'm happy for him. He aint the first player to use sterriods, and wont be the last. He does what he has to do to ensure that his family lives a privledged life. I dont think any one of us wouldn't do the same if we were in his position. (well me anyway, haha, I'm a greedy prick) The fact of the matter is, if the body armor was illeagle, the umpires should have made him take it off. Also, dont forget, till this day the man never failed a drug test. Every home run he hit counted in the game, so it counts in the record books. Think of how many wins his sterroid use cheated countless ammounts of teams out of. Should we go back and change the outcome of those games?

There are many hall of famers who have used steroids, and many that were bad people. Ty Cobb was a vocal racist, in todays times his career would have gone about as well as John Rockers. Should he be stripped of his many records? What about in the days when a teams pitcher was their pitcher. Should Warren Spahn get an astrisk* because he started damn near every game? The Babe was a drunken womenizer, Billy Martin, Mickey Mantle, and Regi Jackson too.

Weather its right or wrong, I dont know but baseball is based on in game stats, not character, or morality.
