Paraphrasing but he said if those two (Sosa/Mac) think their the best watch what happens when I start using roids. That's the part that ticks me off. Bonds was so good before but none of it matters now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO straight up I would take Griffey over Bonds all day everyday but I am biased for sure 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rookie of Year, 2 MVP's in Pittsburgh. Heads west and has unreal numbers for 5-6 years before he blew his dome up with juice. Guy had 2558 WALKS during his career. Just a shame.

Without the roids does he stay healthy? Had Griffey not lost what amounted to 4 yeare due to injury he would be the HR king and have who knows how many awards. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
