Yes, I agree that its hard for maybe me or you or ordinary people to hit 754 homeruns. However, Bonds is a superior athlete or he wouldnt have ever made it to the major leagues. He already had the hand-eye coordination and the ability to hit a baseball that was thrown by a major league pitcher over the fence.
With him taking steroids and HGH, how many of those home runs would have stayed inside instead of going over the fence? He gained strength and it boosted his performance and I have no doubt that it contributed to him hitting more home runs than he would have otherwise.

Roger and Curt look massive compared to 12 or 13 years ago. Let me say it again, pitchers were jucing first, it is well known.

I think they are good and talented pitchers. If they were / are taking performance enchancing drugs, like Barry Bonds, then I would have as little respect for them as I do for Bonds. Also, look at a pic of Bonds 12 years ago and compare it to a recent picture. The man has almost doubled in size and his head is noticably bigger. He was a scrawny rookie when he first started playing and stayed that way for a while and then almost between seasons, he ballooned up in size and has stayed that way since.
The same for Jose Canseco (spelling) and Mark McQuire. McQuire looked a step away from a pro body builder. His arms were enourmous as well as his entire torso. He used to be pretty slim as well.
