I agree with that point. Before he started taking steroids (yes, I'm jumping to the conclusion that he took steroids), Bonds was considered a Hall of Fame quality player-- not as as good as, say, Willie Mays, but a great 5-tool player. Most considered Ken Griffy Jr. to be the superior talent and, by the way, home run hitter. It wasn't until after Bonds started taking steroids that sports writers and fans started calling him the best or one of the best ever. No one who today calls Bonds the best ever considered him the best ever before he took steroids.
