What I'm saying is that the league, at 30 teams, is much smaller now in comparison to the talent pool than it was 80 years ago. [/ QUOTE ] ......what leads you to believe that your above statement is correct? Please expand/explain further.

Re: I feel bad for Barry Bonds
I've already stated them many times.
- The league has effectively doubled in size in terms of roster spots - Integration alone has a huge effect on the talent pool. - Population has boomed; easily more than doubled. - Rich become richer / poor become poorer - MLB draws from the poor. - Medical advances allow people to play who previously would not be able to - replace John Smoltz, Kerry Wood, and a multitude of other Tommy John surgery recepients with the best players in the minors. Do the same for hitters with torn ACL's... you get the idea.
