I just finished listening to my "And The Crowd Goes Wild" CD. One of the topics was about Mark McGwire's HR record. And then I got to thinking (BTW, thinking hurts, that's why some people never do it ;)).
Why aren't pitchers pitching to Bonds when they pitched to McGwire?
McGwire was caught with andro, and had nobody hitting behind him. Bonds MAY have used steriods, and has nobody hitting behind him. Granted, McGwire was more of a hit-or-miss guy (In his record-breaking season, he hit 70 homers and 61 singles), but when he connected, that ball went into orbit.
Has anyone else thought about this, and if so, what were the conclusions arrived at?
