I read that the Maris family acknowledged Judge as the "true" single season HR champ.
So who do you prefer?
Now before the Debbie Downers point it out, it's obviously Gigantic Head in the books.
But do you tell your kids the story of how Bonds juiced, practically doubled his muscle mass, somehow went up a few shoe sizes, and ended up with a Pumpkin Head?
I'm with the Maris'. In the Court of Public Opinion, it's going to be Judge.
If anyone can justify that scumbag and the rest of his roid boys as legit, I would love to hear it.It's interesting that you all talk about how big Bonds got leaving the Pirates for the Giants.
So why don't you say the same about David Ortiz going from the Twins to the Red Sox? He got huge just like Bonds did, but he gets a free pass. Why?
He got huge, I agree, but not in the way Bonds did. I am curious, and no I am not too young, it just didn’t interest me after the Big Mac and Sosa thing; how many did Bonds hit? 80?

Bonds, even jacked u still gotta make contact with the ball.
Do you consider greenies cheating? -
Maris
Reason: 1.
I heard a rumor that while chasing Maris; Judge said that Bonds was the true homerun king and Maris was just an afterthought. Now don't know if it's true; but if it is true that's being cocky.Reason 2. Give it a few years and we'll find out that Judge was juicing.

Do you consider greenies cheating?Bonds was a great player, that’s why it’s sad he did what he did. I know you are trying to tell everyone about Hank Aaron taking greenies; however, even if true, they don’t give you more power.

Has nothing to do with power, u ever played 162 in 180 days or anything close to that?
Greenies kept guys on the field, greenies mixed qith coffee kept guys on the field.
So in order to break records or make records u gotta b on the field -

Why would you say things like that? I understand you are trying to be funny, and I see you on these boards saying things that help people out, including myself; but don’t say stuff like that, it’s disrespectful and rude in many ways. Unless you honestly believe what you said, then I apologize.

Cheating is cheating, the real reason Bonds doesn't get a pass like others is because he isn't a likable guy, he's the prototypical MLB villain.

So in order to break records or make records u gotta b on the fieldThey really helped out Keith Hernandez come close to Aaron, sure. No. I pitched, and not in the MLB. Why wouldn’t Bonds just take Greenies. Nothing like loading up on those to help with power right? Like I said, Bonds would have been great without them, so would guys like ARod, it’s actually sad what they did to themselves. I don’t deny that Big Mac, Sosa, and Bonds helped bring fans to baseball that they wouldn’t have. That’s why they looked the other way while it was happening at least.

During my time playing i saw everything and anything to try and gain an edge. Hitting a baseball takes talent and Bonds had the talent. Regardless of roids or no roids plenty of people tried and failed with roids.
Bonds is hr king -

Cheating is cheating, but let's ignore David Ortiz failing a PED test in 03. But hey, he said he didn't do it so let's believe him right?
What’s your obsession with Ortiz?
Literally no one has said he was clean or anything to defend the guy. The reason Bonds gets brought up the most is because he has the record, if Ortiz had the record you would hear a lot more about that failed test -
Man, I thought this post was asking us who have we hit the most homeruns with in The Show 22…Probably AS Juan Soto, but only with 30 or so. I change my lineup A LOT. Plus I’m not very good. Haha.
But to answer your question: it’s Bonds, ya weirdos.

If anyone can justify that scumbag and the rest of his roid boys as legit, I would love to hear it.Maria’s problem is those of us old-timers still remember this:
-
Roids werent illegal at that time. Amphetamines were always illegal. So Hank Aaron cant get a pass if Bonds doesnt. Just playing devils advocate here.
-
In 2001, when Bonds hit 73, Sosa hit 64. Two others hit over 50. Eight more guys hit over 40. And twenty-nine others hit over 30.
Judge hit 62. Next closest was 16 behind him with 46. Two others hit exactly 40. And only 17 others managed 30 or more.
I saw Bonds throughout his career. He was great. Judge's 62 is more impressive to me than Bond's 73.
I know that Aaron hit 755, I would have to look up how many Bonds finished with.
-
AL - 2022 Aaron Judge
NL - 1971 Willie StargellWhy? Why not. Pops was the best, so I declare him the winner. If he didn't have to play in Forbes Field, he probably would have hit 63 HRs in 1966.

He didn't say Maris was an afterthought but he did say that he acknowledges that Bond is the record hold. He said something Bond hit 73 it is in the record book so that is the record I think of.
Personally it is the babe the guy hit 60 in 154 games. While playing in 151 and hitting .356
Maris played all but one game of a 162 season and hit .269
Judge played in 157 and that will probably be the most he ever plays in

No one is ever right in this argument. Cheating in baseball has been around since the beginning of the game. Stealing signs, corking bats, pitchers using anything sticky, sandpaper, apple watches, trash cans and drugs. Players, coaches, teams will do anything to get a slight edge over their opponent. Why would they do this? How about the millions of dollars involved. Everyone wants to point out the homerun race for steroids but how many players were using some foreign substance to get an edge years prior to that. MLB basically turned a blind eye to whatever cheating was going on at the time as long as ratings were there. Then when they get exposed, be it the Astros, Bonds or pitchers doctoring balls, they like to step in to look like the good guy when it reality they let it happen and now are being reactive because people got caught. I hate Barry Bonds but MLB let this happen, so even if they want to put an asterisks next to it, unfortunately Bonds is the HR King. It would not surprise me several years down the road if we don't find out that more players in the current era are on some illegal substance that they have found a way to mask it from tests.

I've never gotten this rationalization. Steroids were illegal (since 1990) according to the US Federal Govt. The fact that there wasn't an explicit prohibition in MLB seems to be a distinction without a difference.
I doubt there's a specific rule against murder but surely Slugger X would be kicked out of the game if he killed someone.
