Supersized Barry

Re: Supersized Barry

But you're not in your mid 30s with your head and feet still growing.

Oh, no doubt, I understand that. I'm just saying that I can't believe my hat size is bigger than Barry's, even with all of the steroid controversy (which I personally don't care about in regards to him and his success as a player, nor am I a believer that he was ever a major steroid abuser... but that's just the Bonds bias coming out of me).

Re: Supersized Barry

anyone wanna guess schlong sizes?

Doesn't that decrease with steroids? Some interviewer should ask him about it. With the amount his head grew, I wonder if his berries didn't shrink out of existence. lol

Re: Supersized Barry

If an overuse of HGH can increase one's extremities, does that mean he probably has a horse-sized dingle-ing? Just an observation. . .

Re: Supersized Barry

Its even less time than that. He was still a small guy in 1998 (he joined the Giants in 1993 I believe). In 1999-2000 he grew a bunch. By 2001 he was the Incredible Hulk.

No he was about 210 to 215 then. He got bigger each year. In fact he had to lose some weight becasue he was not fast on the inside of the plate. They talk about that here in the Bay Area when that happen. Got back down to 205. The feet one is the one that is the shock. If that is the case that is odd. I am sure you arn't the same size you were in highscool? But my feet size or the same. I know your head probably can get bigger by adding weight, but the feet huh! Oh well, if he did them he will get caught some day, or they will find some way to make it stick.

Re: Supersized Barry

Well hey, Chipper Jones sized up one-half cleat size from last year to this year.

Of course, he's also wearing three pairs of socks to cushion his feat in hopes of being less injury-prone.

Sounds like something the Red Sox should do with J.D. Drew. Just wrap him up in bubble wrap and they should be fine.

De Nile isn't just a river in Egypt. He was a small guy (in comparison to now) still in 1998. A few years later he became one of the biggest guys on the diamond. He also went from a 5 tool guy with great speed to a huge liability in the field and a non threat on the basepaths.

I was watching some old episodes of "Everybody Loves Raymond" last night and Bonds had a cameo in an episode from about 1996. He was tiny and I actually wasn't positive it was him at first. It took about a minute for me to be certain it was in fact Bonds.

OK what ever you say! lol, but that is not 98. He started working out heavier in 97 and was getting pretty solid. I AM NOT SAYING HE DIDN'T TAKES ROIDS, but if you are going to use an example at least get it right. He weighs about 230 to 240. In 98 he was around 200 maybe 205 and maybe bigger. So lets see in 10 years he put on 25 to 30 pounds hum! Like I said if he took them they will find away to make it stick and if they don't then oh well! He is guitly to everybody anyways. So we shall see the next couple years and see what happens!

He does look like he got a tiny bit bigger from 1996 to 1997, but he was still a small guy up until about 2000. Look at 1999 to 2000, its a huge difference.

In all honestly 98 and 99 aren't that much different. maybe 10 pounds he is looking more solid, but not that much veins on the arms and his arm don't look that big in 99 pic! I know I will get hammer for this, but it looks like he put muscle on each year. I know he took something! what! I don't know, but I know it was something!

OK we are on about the same page then. But the difference from '99 to 2000 is astounding IMO (that pick in 2000 makes it a little hard to judge because his body is twisted around.) That was at about the time other guys like Bret Boone were also gaining loads of weight, I remember that the media was just saying guys were lifting that much more. Bonds definitely wasn't alone on this, but he's become the poster boy because he's breaking all the records.

Re: Supersized Barry

its a known fact that people get bigger as they get older, until what you might call old age sets in, your feet get bigger your gut everything, metabolism slows down its known fact.

So you're saying it's natural for someone's feet to grow 2 1/2 shoe sizes when they are in their 30s?
