I guess to be realistic the game should replicate roid use in some way. Bonds does show what can become of a great player when they are properly medicated. I hope for his sake personally it does not come back to haunt him. As you can tell I'm extremely skeptical his numbers. He was a hall of famer before 73 so I credit him for his accomplishments prior. I would bet that he sold his sold to the devil to do what he has been doing over the past few years. I don't drink the koo-aid MLB and ESPN send around about all of these sluggers. BTW, I'm a life long Cards fan who also believe Mac and Sosa were roided up as well. It is such a shame the ruin that has come to the HR numbers, career and season, over the past 10 years because of rampant abuse.

I set my leagues up for a mix of 50's and 80's style play. So I doubt I would see the kind of numbers Bonds has put up in the game. I guess it is my form of drug testing.
