Do human heads get bigger naturally?

Well, I really don't think so.
Look at Barry Bonds as a rookie.
Look at him recently.
A new book is coming out soon with some pretty credible evidence that Bonds knowingly, and frequently used steroids in an effort to catch Mark McGwire.
I just ask you to look.
Do human heads go through growth spurts in your late 30's?
They do if steroids are involved.
Is his record tainted?
Yes.
YES.
YES!!!!
They may not have been banned until 2002, but Barry cheated.
So did McGwire, for that matter.
I don't care one way or other about the rules, and if it was against them or not at the time.
Roger Maris didn't do steroids.
He worked hard.
He played by the rules.
He played fair.
And now this steroid freak has the record that rightfully belongs to Roger.
Bonds is chasing the all time home run record, too.
That's currently owned by Hammering Hank Aaron.
THE man.
He played fair, too.
He worked damned hard to get it.
He had to face racism and other assorted bullshit to get it, too.
And his record is about to be broken by the same steroid freak?
The guy who lists Willie Mays as his Godfather, and we all know Willie was a straight shooter.
The guy who's father played many a year in the Majors, and never cheated.
And this...punk, who shoots up to get his muscle, is gonna own all of the records?

Dear Bud Selig,
If you do nothing else, please rectify this situation.
Pro sports are a joke.
No one believes in our athletes anymore, because of people like Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds and Rafael Palmerio.
Do the right thing.
Strike their records from the books.
Let us still believe in Roger Maris, the Babe and Hammering Hank.
They did it with heart, skill and guts.
These new guys just cheat.
Let the good guys win, and let the bad guys get what they deserve.

Damn straight, Greg... but the reverse lament is how many of the pitchers and other players have been enhanced by steriods to run faster, jump higher, and throw harder to make the game for all practical purposes like watching replicants (i.e. Roy Batty) on the field. Football is in the same shape. It makes one wonder how long before genetically enhanced 'gladiators' are providing us our entertainment via 'sport'...
