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

This is getting scary....I'm agreeing with you too often, lately....Well said,
in your above post.

And, I might add that athletes (big ones) from other sports cannot walk up to
the plate, face major league pitching, and hit a BB effectively, much less a
long distance. I do not care how good they are in their respective sport.
Michael Jordon, as great a BasketBall player that he is, proved this point
when he tried playing BB.

It takes at least 10 years to produce a professional ballplayer....BaseBall,
Tennis, Football, BasketBall.....you name it. I taught my daughters to play
tennis from age 6 and when they entered HS they were at the top of the team.
I started playing BB with my grandson when he was 5 years old. In HS he was
on the A-team and hit several HR's over 400 feet in inter-school games. And,
mind you, he is only 5:7 and 160 lbs.

Jay, you are absolutely correct....bigness, bulk, whatever, has nothing to do
with hitting HRs.
