Extreme Body Modification Installment #1: Barry Bonds

Oh, Barry. We San Franciscans hate to love you . . . or is it love to hate you? Anyway, as one of the standout alleged steroid users in MLB, breaking the all-time home run record, Mr. Bonds sure has gone through a lot of change. On the eve of Spring Training, let's see Barry progress through the last two decades.

Rookie Year 1986

Hmmmm. Somewhere around this time, Barry seems to be bulking up.

I’m sure it’s just the protein shakes and carbo-loading . . . and if a needle made its way into his bum every now and again, I’m sure that wouldn’t hurt his AB/HR ratio . . .

2006

Huh. I think Barry might have “staffed” my good friend’s bachelorette party in South Lake Tahoe.

Same grimace, same slight paunch. Well, now I don’t feel so bad about not tipping well . . .

2007

I don’t understand the argument that just because Bonds bulked up he must have been on roids. I looked like Bonds circa ‘94 in high school and Bonds circa ’06 after college football by simply eating and drinking shakes…it’s possible…show me a positive test and then I’ll sadly frown at his records.

OK, this is brilliant! (I do not heart Barry Bonds.)
