You can't place asterisks next to his stats... Why do people always say that?

They used to have an asterisk next to Roger Maris' record of 61 HR's because it came in more games than Babe Ruth. They later took it out. But I think in these cases it's more of a mental asterisk about the records.

Bret Boone was DEFINITELY on the juice!! He hasn't strutted the show boating HR swing in awhile... too bad.

Ryan Franklin today busted for doing the juice. Wow... just think if he didn't have it.. the guy is 6-11 with a 4.61 ERA this year. Yikes!!

I know about Maris' asterisk. But... it can't be proven that these guys 'cheated' back when they compiled their numbers. Plus, it wasn't against MLB rules back then. When Bonds hit 73, it was perfectly legal.

Not to mention that if they get asterisk'd, then players like Cy Young and Eddie Ciccotte's stats should be asterisk'd as well for using shine/spit/scuff balls. They were legal while they were using them, but then became illegal. Same with Satchel Paige's hesitation pitch.

And Gaylord Perry's spitball. I agree you can never say for certain when they were using them, etc. It's arbitrary to whom gets an asterisk (how could one really decide) meaning it would never happen or should happen. But I think that the home run records by Bonds, McGwire, and Sosa are at least severly tainted and people like me won't consider them true. That's my mental asterisk. Obviously you can't go back in time and test them anyway. There's no proof.

I get ya, I'm not disagreeing here.

By the way, Jim Thome on the juice?

I wouldn't be surprised. Not many people would surprise me, to be honest.

But, personally, steroids or no steroids, Barry Bonds is the best player of my generation. You're a little older so it may be different for you. But as far as players I was able to see play everyday, Bonds is the best. Better than Griffey in his prime, even. And I love Griffey.
