E, Danieljust wondering Joanne, did you similarly find it 'amazing' to watch Ben Johnson run after he was shown to be using steroids?
What about weightlifters who are continually banned after being outed? Does it seem 'quite' as amazing as over 500 pounds get pushed skywards?
How about the San Diego Chargers Shawn Merriman, who plays like a nutcase and is the best case of controlled roid rage I've ever seen..? Do you like his style?
I'm going to guess, but perhaps with Bonds its because the physique is nicely draped in loose uniform, and swinging a bat on the perfect plane to hit a ball appears a more evolved and 'pretty' motion'. Not requiring pure strength as much as pure timing and eagle eye.
Because, to be honest, I don't get your apathy either. Very respectfully.
All I know is that if my kid were trying to make a ball club, and he was good enough in natural gifts but didn't 'play the game' the pros maybe did to be a rock star, I sure would be bummed for him to be considered a lesser player. Me, I'd prefer he became a doctor, or an author, or......
