Mac or Bonds: Who Roided It Up Better?

by user DNL

Let's assume that Barry Bonds uses/used steroids. Let's assume the same thing about Mark McGwire.

Nothing too controversial about either assumption, right? Right. But it's sure fun.

The two of us both think that the above assumptions are true. But we were wondering: who did it better? Was it Bonds and his 73 bombs in 2001, and 711 (and counting!) for his career? Or was he behind the times? Did McGwire -- first to hit 70, three consecutive years of 50+ -- do it better?

Which guy's steroids regimen was the way to go?

We couldn't decide on numbers alone. It was too close to call. So, we went to the cardboard. We took a look at their baseball cards from 1987 through 2002 and commented along the way. Which one was more subtle? Who seemed to magically transform from mild-mannered David Banner to the Incredible Hulk? Which one has cooler hair?

This is important stuff, people!

Walk with us through history, as we ask the fundamental question on every baseball fan's mind:

"Mac or Bonds: Who Roided It Up Better?"

And just to give you one more thing to go on, let's give you each guy's rookie card. For comparison's sake -- and because man, do they look different:

'''So, who roided it up better? You be the judge. Leave your comments below.'''
