hitting an 80mph ball is no easy feat either.
and bonds was skilled early in his career.
his first several years he was more known as a stealing bases guy, but he could bang out 30 home runs with the pirates too.
he also only had one absurd season in 2001 where he had the 73. the rest has been pretty consistent.

ok? nobody is saying it is easy. his lifetime average around .290 says he's a pretty good hitter.

right, and that's pretty reasonable isn't it?

he also only had one absurd season in 2001 where he had the 73. the rest has been pretty consistent.

it wasn't consistent at all. it wasn't just one absurd season. for the first ten years of his career, he barely hit more than 40 homers. and in the last 10, short of him being injured in 05, and the steroid crackdowns in the last couple years, he only hit less than 40 twice (and with far fewer ABs because he was walked so much). it's not consistent with anything, except the other players who's names come up as juicers for that time period too.

are you arguing that you don't think he did steroids or that you don't think the steroids got him home runs?
