Since all of Bonds' critics are pulling up stats from his career to cast doubt on his accomplishments, I would like to add this info about AROD:
These are his homerun totals from 1996-2000 with the Seattle Mariners: 36, 23, 42, 42, 41.
These are his homerun totals from 2001-2003 with the Rangers: 52, 57, 47.
These are hit totals the last four years with the Yankees: 36, 48, 35, 36.
Something appears really jacked up with the stats during those three years in Texas (almost three 50 homer seasons in a row). Let's remember who his teammates were in Texas: Juan Gonzales (a guy who appeared to be on the juice), Caminiti (a guy admittedly on the juice), Rafael Palmeiro (a guy found guilty of juicing), Ivan Rodriguez (a guy implicated as being on steroids, and whose body has drastically changed the last few years), and even Andres Galaragga (a guy whose body looked nothing likeit did at thebeginning of his career). Now if AROD was around these guys and saw them getting bigger and better, who can not believe that he wouldn't take the steroids as well, believing in his mind that he was truly the best player in the game. Plus, look how his homerun power surged in comparison to his years in Seatlle. The numbers in NY are evidence to me that like many players he has sinced stopped taking the juice as scrutinity has gone up.
Can anyone refute this proof?
