This past summer Barry Bonds of the San Francisco Giants hit his 756th home run to take over the all time record. This feat stirred up a lot more controversy over his alleged steroid abuse. Bonds has steroid accusations for most of his time with the Giants. His off-season physical trainer was arrested a couple summers ago for supplying players with steroids. Bonds started his career as a base stealing, average hitting, and all around speed player. He was always a smaller guy never built so he didn't have great power numbers when he was playing on the Pirates.
Once Bonds joined the Giants His size went up his power numbers went up and his speed started to leave him. Bonds trainer was interviewed and stated that since the 1991 season bonds jersey has gone up hit hat size and his power numbers had sky rocketed. Once Bonds hit his 30's people thought his production was going to go down but his power numbers stayed on the rise and in the 2001 season he set the record for most home runs in one season 73.

Is it legal for the MLB to test for steroids? I've read Jose Canseco's book, Juiced, and he thinks that people want to watch more exciting baseball. This is why steriods are becoming more widely used, and the comissioner is hesitant to test players for steroids. Do you agree?
Are you saying that Barry Bonds records should be void because he takes steriods or are you saying something else? Are you looking specifically at the homerun record?
