Remember, his career isn't even over yet and he WILL break Hank Aaron's home run record.
He has changed the game too. Pitchers have to walk him with 2 men on.

Just for the record I did not even vote for him :nod:

Just for the record, if you don't think Bonds is the 2nd greatest player of all-time you don't know much about baseball.

imo he did/is using steroids, please dont lecture me about it not being proven. He's never won a championship. Dont get me wrong i still think he's a top 5 player of all time, just not 2. Bonds is 42 now Aaron had his record at 41
