I'm tired of all of it. I can't wait for the day he retires and baseball can get back to normal.

Then forget about the steroids and think that you're watching the best hitter of all-time.

He's not the best hitter of all-time.

His career will always be tainted though, either way.

It shouldn't be more than a decade before A-Rod gets it, anyway. No harm, no foul.

Forget about the steroids. Maybe the best home run hitter ever.

Re: Bonds hit's 2 HR's, only needs 3 to break it.

I could do the same. But some of those things you posted are completely useless.Shares record for consecutive plate appearances with a walk?Holds record for most consecutive games with a walk?Who gives a crap. Those don't mean anything.Fact is, Ted led Bonds in 3 major batting categories (Avg, SLG, OBP), and didn't get the same opportunities Bonds did. Bonds cries about him being "discriminated against", while Williams had to fight in a damn war in the prime of his career. He played in way less games, and had 2000 less AB's than Bonds. He'd be past Bonds in RBI, doubles, triples, hits, walks, and runs. Williams struck out 800 less times than Bonds, despite having less at-bats.

Re: Bonds hit's 2 HR's, only needs 3 to break it.

IF Mickey Mantle were able to play more with healthier knees (tore em both up on drainage pipes in the yankee stadium outfield) Mantle would've been the best ever. Dude was amazing...before he hurt his knees he was the fastest out of the box, he could bunt it past the pitching right towards second base and beat it out about 75% of the time. Stats are so overrated, and most people here are probably gonna look at the Mick's stats and say "haha are you serious?" but I dont care and im not even debating anyone because I dont even give a F*ck - IMO he would have easily been the best but some unfortunate things happened so oh well. so who do I really think is the best? eh, maybe willie mays...idk..tough to say. theres a ton of great ones...

Plenty of people would have been the best "if" something did or didn't happen Mardy.

Re: Bonds hit's 2 HR's, only needs 3 to break it.

Mantle's resume is pretty crazy good for someone who had a bone/cartilage disease their entire life and tore their knee badly up on a drainage pipe. * AL MVP (1956, 1957, & 1962) * AL Triple Crown (1956) * Led league in batting average (1956) * Led league in home runs (1955, 1956, 1958, & 1960) * Led league in RBIs (1956) * AL Gold Glove winner in (1962) * 16-time AL All-Star (1952-1965, 1967, 1968) * 7 World Series Rings * 12 Pennants * .298 avg * 536 * 2415 hits

I agree with you Mardy. I love Mantle. I try to model my swing like him even. But I feel that Williams was better.
