I didnt say he wasnt, i just dont think he is the 2nd greatest player of all time
Remember, his career isn't even over yet and he WILL break Hank Aaron's home run record.
He has changed the game too. Pitchers have to walk him with 2 men on.
Just for the record I did not even vote for him

imo he did/is using steroids, please dont lecture me about it not being proven. He's never won a championship. Dont get me wrong i still think he's a top 5 player of all time, just not 2. Bonds is 42 now Aaron had his record at 41
