If Barry Bonds only had like 625 home runs right now, I think the media and fan hatred towards him wouldn't be nearly what it currently is. I don't think Barry without roids would be in the 750 home run range, but he'd still be a hall of fame calibre player. It is odd though how for years a guy like Griffey totally fell off the radar and he has had injuries, and he's playing in Cincinatti. But now that the game is supposedly cleaned up he's re-emerged as one of the better power hitters in the game still at his advanced age. That sort of speaks to me about just how many guys had inflated home run numbers in the past decade sort of thing.
