You know, it is possible that Bonds could gain 40 pounds or so naturally in the 10 years between this game and 2001. I'm not saying anything regarding steroids, but he could have gained the weight given age and training. I don't believe for a second that he would have hit 71 home runs without steroids--but it might have been interesting if he had just naturally added weight and power. I would have liked to have seen what he could have done clean with some more muscle.
I'm 100% fine with this. I'm just glad there's an actual plan in place that isn't, "Let's load up on retreads and hope we get lucky." I'm a little tired of that plan.
