O/T Barry Bonds announces retirement

Posted By: davidcycleback

I'm sure we can do without another steroids debate, but the bulk/muscle/bat speed debate is a bit of a red herring. Marathoners use steroids and, if you look at pictures of world class marathoners, you will see it has nothing to do with bulk and muscle for them. I will bet you that many MLB players would compare playing 162 game to a marathon, especially when if they're in their late 30s or early 40s. When you hear Hank Aaron and others talking about getting old as a player, it's part about losing bat speed, leg speed and stength, but it's also about wearing down, nagging injuries, sore muscles, missing practices and games, the inablity physically take the grind.
