Barry Bonds vs. Hank Aaron? |
Now that Barry Bonds has admitted taking steroids, do you think Hank Aaron is the best ever? Source for Bonds steroids: http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=bonds+a... I would also say that both Bonds and Aaron are great players but Babe Ruth is unquestionably the best Major Leaguer. He would have made the Hall of Fame as a pitcher, became the greatest hitter in history by hitting more home runs than entire teams in his days, and was underrated on defense and baserunning as he stole home several times. It's hard to say whether Bonds is better than Aaron, but I'd have to give Barry the edge because he's stolen so many bases and rarely misses the one or two pitches he gets a chance to hit in a game. But again Hammerin' Hank is surprisingly underrated with this generation as some people don't realize that if you took away all of his 755 home runs, he'd still have over 3,000 hits. yeah, always did. everyone knew that Bonds was on steroids in the first place. he came into the majors skinny as a stick, and now he's freaking fat. i feel very bad for Aaron because his record is going to be beaten by a cheater. Go Barry Bonds! no i do not think hank aaron is now the best ever. Barry Bonds, is the better player steroids or not. look at all the players that have tested positive for steroids, none of them have even came close to producing like barry. Im not a firm believer in steroids helping a hitter that much, sure they make you stronger, but barry is great because of his eye and his natural ability. Bonds has produced the numbers while being pitched around for the last 10 years. look at the on base percentage and how many times barry walks compared to Aaron. Plus i dont think Aaron is even in the best 10 players ever. KCS, Sammy Sosa (a man who hit 60+ HR three times in four years) has something to say against Bonds' production being thoroughly dominant relative to others who've been guilty of steroid use. He and Bonds both had the same decline, and have now decided to come back to fulfull 756 and 600 HR (respectively). Hank Aaron's not the best ever, nor is he the best HR hitter, but he's a hell of a lot better than Bonds. He had 40 HR seasons throughout his career, Bonds got one or two prior to 2001, and won't ever get one again. If you take into account the number of at bats, number of games and the number of years involved, both don't come up to the standards of the greats such as Babe Ruth, Gerhig, etc. Their records still stand. |
