The cheater Bonds hit 1.422 and I would love for Judge to knock him out of the record books. He won't get to 73 HRs but every record Bonds holds that can be taken away would be glorious.

- They weren't invented until the 1930s and weren't used by athletes until the 1950s so it wasn't possible for him to use them at the time he was playing. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 26, 04:53 4

  - It is because we're talking about steroids which wasn't a thing used by athletes until the 1950s. - Krusty Aug 26, 04:52 3
    - Ruth was rumored to have tried to inject himself with an extract from sheep testicles. - Inigo Aug 26, 07:49 1
      - Steroids were on the banned list since 1991 in MLB. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 07:59
    - Greenies are not the same as steroids. While it gave them energy that they wouldn't normally have it didn't make them bigger and stronger. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 04:55
