Talk:"Bonds on Bonds" Review/@comment-ASwaff-2006041291048

“Hundreds of players took steroids, so why should we care so much about Barry?" Statistics like this have not been verified.  The only source we have on this is Canseco, and we all know that he said that because he think steroids were good for the game and that he holds himself personally responsible for introducing steroids to baseball.  Therefore, if hundreds of players were taking them, he had a profound influence on the game.  But that statement has not been verified by player testimomy, coach testimony OR drug testing.  So, that quote is immediately stupid.  It is secondarily stupid because it&quot;s a big name.  Any news with a big name is bigger news.  I&quot;m so sick of this "the only care about Barry" bullcrap.  Am I the only one who remembers the hoopla over Giambi, Sheffield and Palmeiro?  We care more when it&quot;s a big name.  It&quot;s a celebrity thing, not a Barry thing. If Barry would get over himself, I think that it would really help people like that writer (and Torii Hunter) to understand that.
