-Barry Bonds, barring if he still uses performance enhancing drugs now, used them when most of the other high-names did. And which, at that time, there was nothing wrong with taking steroids. There were no rules against it, so it was okay. Back in the early days players admitted to taking the reds and greens before some games (speed) to pick them up after a road trip, or something. If Bonds is using the drugs now, then yes, this record shouldn't count, because there are rules against it. But if he only did them for the period up until the rule was made, then it's technically, perfectly fine.




Frankly, I don't agree with it.
And personally, if I was any pitcher who respected baseball in any form, I would have intentionally walked Bonds every at bat, for the rest of his career, so he never gets another home run, let alone another hit.

Random Fact:

Steroids have been illegal in baseball since 1991.
