When Kirk Radomski's list of buyer's, that he furnished Mitchell and the Fed's, gets published we'll see how widespread steroid use in all aspects of professional sports really is. Many want to believe it's "all about Bonds." How Dumb can you Get, it's everywhere and it's been used by members of every team. Grow up, get your head out of the sand, and give Bonds credit for being able to do what others have not... Best a record that i always though was unbreakable. Old roommate, you still owe me money!

We already know Bonds used steroids so his ball will be valued accordingly. Perhaps Mark's big ball is the most bogus sports memorabilia.

Bonds HR balls were hit, they are real, nothing bogus about them. Very poor attempt to act like you know something you obviously don't and can't begin to comprehend.
