Barry Bonds Through the Years

He really started "filling out" in the late 90s.

1995 is really bad. Great article.

94-95 seems to be the transition period.

I like the wood paneling borders on the 1988 Topps card...classy.

When I was 27 I weighed 185 lbs. I begin lifting weights regularly and went to 235 lbs in 2 years. No roids. I have been between 225 and 235 for the last 20 years.

I hear Bud Selig is secretly a huge fan of the WWE. Best. Commissioner. Ever.

each year more and more injections of the roids you can tellhe gets bigger and bigger

Starting in 2005 (maybe 2004) baseball started testing for steroids and Bonds has been tested several times since this has began. So when you see that image of him from 2007 you can't say that is from steroids. According to reports he didn't start taking them until after the 1998 season so you can look from 1999 to 2004 for your proof. Comparing his rookie picture to his picture of today is unfair. Go look at Karl Malone, Michael Jordan, Patrick Ewing, and any other athletes who had long careers and look at the change they made. Nutrition, working out, and time are probably the biggest reasons athletes bodies change. I am not saying he didn't take steroids just saying comparing pictures proves nothing.
