Yes but he took roids on top of that and he and McGwire and Sosa have destroyed some of the most hallowed records in baseball.

Barry would have been a great player anyways but with the steroids.....he just seems greedy to me....he wants to be celebrated like some sort of baseball god and with the way he plays now he's no 5 tool player and he hasn't been one since the mid 90's.

If anyone from this era broke the record the same questions would have been raised.....Barry just exacerbated the situation because of his attitude and his aura of entitlement......if I have kids I don't want them playing any sport like Barry Bonds has played baseball, not that he's not good but he doesn't play the game with respect and he doesn't play in a way that garners respect from fans.

300+ home runs after hitting 30 years old....more than he hit in his 20's
