He is a loser and he won't be missed.

Let's not forget that Bonds supposedly didn't start using until after 1998 when McGwire and Sosa both passed Roger Maris and that there was plenty of steroid use in the game before then.

Interestingly, he supposedly confided this to Ken Griffey, Jr., who it was once thought would break Aaron's record and about whom no one has suggested the juice. On the other hand, Griffey asked out of Seattle when they built their new ballpark which he felt had dimensions that would cost him ten homers a year.
