Juice or no Juice...The Greatest Of All Time
Barry Bonds has never failed a steroids test...ever. I know this may be hard to believe for some of you who are manipulated by ESPN, and cannot think for yourself.
"But what about 'The Book'?" people ask me all the time.
'The Book' refers to "Game of Shadows"...which uses a bevy of anonymous sources to bash the Giants slugger about everything from domestic violence to his alleged use of performance enhancing drugs.
Now you have millions of people cheering some never was pitcher who does'nt want to give up 714, when he beans Bonds the other night. Now you have people holding up signs, throwing syringes and verbally abusing the man in front of his wife and children...real classy, retards.
How about waiting to see if there is any actual proof that Bonds cheated? Not that it matters. Let's face it, if Bonds did use steroids it just levelled the playing the field. If "90 percent of players were using steroids" as Ken Caminitti claimed, the Bonds was juicing to hit Home Runs off juiced pitchers. Remember, out of all the players nabbed in the testing policy, Ryan Franklin and Carlos Silva both tested positive...both are starting pitchers, both gave up Homers to Bonds...so do those Homers count?
When, and I do mean when, Barry passes Ruth this weekend in Oakland...he will actually be crushing Ruth. I estimate that Ruth would have barely surpassed the 500 Dinger mark if he played in this era. I will show you how I came up with this estimate:
Ruth faced pitchers who were on average pitching on 2.3 days rest. Barry faces starters who average 3.9 days of rest.
Ruth hit 142 Round trippers off pitchers who were starting on back to back days...this simply would never happen in this era...610 HR
Ruth hit significantly more Homers off righties then lefties...of course there are more right handed starters then left, so this is expected, so we must go by HR per at bat versus lefty...which was actual on average 4 more at bats than right handers.
So this means that if coaches put in left handed specialists like Mike Myers roughly once a three game series in the late innings...this would add up to 833.3 at bats over Ruth's 2500 game career.
Out of these 833 at bats, Ruth would have, statistically, hit a homer once every 21 at bats, instead of his usual one per 11.8 AB.
Ruth hit 70.5 HR in 833 AB by the 11.8 ratio. This would fall to 39.6 at the lefty ratio...cut 30 HR...542...12th all-time behind Mike Schmidt. And now we would be talking about Griffey Jr. passing the Babe as he would be right on his tale with 539.
And don't bother talking about what if Ruth used roids or had access to all the modern fitness equipment...he wouldn't have used it. The guy didn't care baout his body then and he wouldn't now. As a sign I saw in the stands at a Giants game read..."Babe did it on Beer and Hot Dogs...how did you do it?"...my point exactly...the fat old drunk doesn't hold a candle to Bonds.
