Re: According to Jeff Pearlman's new biography, 'Love Me, Hate Me', Barry Bonds told Ken Griffey, Jr. after the '98 season that he was seriously thinking about taking steroids <FONT COLOR=BLACK><b>[</font>Reply to #<a href="read.pl?1-2589">2589</a>]</b>

I know a lot of fans were upset with Junior for going to the Reds, but I never could blame him for wanting to play with his dad.  

The was his career has unfolded makes me a little sad, but there's no doubt he's a great player and a good guy.  Too bad Bonds didn't see that all he had to do was continue playing the way he was and eventually he'd get the recognition he deserved.

Griffey is the Anti-Bonds.

And I tire of the excuse being floated around that MLB basically forced Bonds into this position because of the McGwire/Sosa stuff.

Regardless of how many players are/were juicing, there are players like Junior who didn't fall into that trap.  That should count for something.
