I dont care what people say about him but thats an accomplishment in itself. Whether he used steroids or not.

Heres the shocker...Between the ages of 21-29 (8 year span) he hit 253 homeruns. Between the ages of 35-43 (8 year span), he hit 334. Thats not that much of a difference in homeruns really. So ask urself again. Did his enhancers really help him THAT much? NOPE.

You make a good argument up until this paragraph. Thats a shocker, but not in the right sense. In the time where most players do their best, when they are young, are able to heal quickly and develop the most muscle easier, he does worse than 14 years later? This statistic by itself has to make people wonder.

In addition, those stats you posted on the bottom:

* Bonds Career By Age

Age Games AB BA HR AB per HR
21-29 1,264 4,456 .284 253 17.61

35-39 712 2,175 .331 261 8.33

Take a look at the AB per HR. When he's younger, he's hitting a home run ever 17.61 at bats. When he's 14 years older, he's hitting a home run ever 8.33 ABs? He's effectively doubling his efficiency as he gets older? I don't doubt experience helps but thats a big jump.

Hank Aaron hit 299hr between 21-29yrs (5,472 ABs) & 203hr between 35-39 (2,399 Abs).
Babe Ruth hit 280hr between 21-29yrs (3,462 ABs) & 192hr between 35-39 (2,333 ABs).
Barry Bonds hit 253 between 21-29yrs (4,456 ABs) & 261hr between 35-39 (2,175 ABs).

I'm not saying he did or did not, but those stats, the fact that he increases his HRs as he gets older, I find a little suspicious.
