Bomani and Jason break down Bonds' remarkable statistics, his dominance with the Pittsburgh Pirates and San Francisco Giants, and the incredible four-year stretch from 2001 to 2004 that produced numbers baseball may never see again. They explain why Bonds was already an all-time great before the steroid allegations and revisit the 1998 home run chase involving Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa that helped change the course of baseball history. The conversation also examines the media's treatment of Bonds, the role of performance-enhancing drugs throughout baseball, and the double standards that shaped the legacies of the steroid era's biggest stars. Plus, Bomani and Jason discuss why Chicago Cubs fans turned on Sammy Sosa while San Francisco Giants fans continued embracing Barry Bonds, the difference between Bonds and Ken Griffey Jr., and why Bonds remains one of the most fascinating and controversial figures in sports history.
