But even if Bonds breaks Ruth's record, it still won't be valid in my mind (probably like a lot of you). Ruth is a legend. The greatest the game has seen. He didn't do steroids, played in the dead ball era, hit against some of the game's best pitchers ever, and was probably the most loved man in America at the time (try saying that about Bonds...hell, his own teammates hate him!). Bonds is the posterboy for greed, arrogance, selfishness, and juiced up baseball. Everything the game is today.

Ruth played coked up. Pitchers were shit back then. A good fastball was 85 MPH. Fielders weren't in as good of shape to chase down balls.
