How many home runs would have Bonds hit if he did not play at Pac Bell?

If the Giants played in Candlestick in 2001 instead of Pac Bell, he would not own the single season record. Interesting statistical analysis. picked by JuicyFruit 2 years ago

Very interesting statistics. It seems slightly petty that they created a short field just so one player would stay for their team.

Meh, not so petty when you figure the price of tickets and the percent of extra fans that would show up just to see the great asterisk. Adds up to millions actually.

But hey, this is the national pastime here...they wouldn't sully it by getting it filthy with something as shallow as MONEY now would they? Would they? (crickets chirping)

I'm not going to get into it with the Bonds haters. The Giants have a huge fan base here. They could sell out that park with or without Bonds. If you've never been to that ballpark, you wouldn't understand. It is a classic baseball venue.

I'd be more curious to know how many he'd have it without assistance.

OK, so I am one of "those" who thinks he's juiced...I said it.
