Judge:

After 10 years in baseball and a composite ERA of about 3.00; Wilhelm went on a streak in which he was under a 2.00 Era for esentially every season. This streak began when he was 39 years old, and culminated with his lowest ERA (1.31) at age 44. He continued this until he was 48, at which point he went 0-1 with a 2.70 ERA. When, at 49, he had another losing (0-1) season, he hung up his spikes - or maybe his knuckles.

My only point here is that Bond's record does not prove guilt. Please do not interpret my statements as inferring that I believe that Bonds is not guilty.

I don't care. I applaud all cheating. John McGraw (and others) in the 1890s were great!

Edited to add: Heck, I even condone base stealing! Actually, I like it.
