Barry did it on exercise and steroids (does anyone believe he didn't?), the Bambino did it on hot dogs and beer. I think it's obvious who enjoyed their's more.

Shouldn't be any. When he used steroids there was no rule against it. As Alex Pujols says, "You still have to hit the ball."

That is quite true. Roids do not give godly hand-eye coordination.

It would have been celebrated more.. 10 times more if Barry wasn't such an asshole in RL and as a team member.

Where is that great big astersik?

He certainly hits more when he's actively imbibing.
