Default Bonds exposed: Shadows details superstar slugger's steroid use

Posted By: jay behrens

Judge, the point is that these people make it seem like Bonds and other would never hit a HR if they weren't juiced.

I'm not an expert in batting, but I do know about it, power is derived from bat speed, torso strength and torsion and the proper swing to hit the ball over the fence instead of line drives. Big arms don't make you a HR hitter. Just look back at Brian Downing. The guy had some of the most massive arms the game has ever seen. Yet he never hit 30 HRs in a season.

Raw, brute strength does not get you HRs
