Why It Took Barry and A-Rod So Long


I was not surprised to see that it took Bonds and A-Rod longer than expected between their latest milestone HRs. Both of these guys have never been guys you could count on in the clutch. They are not pressure guys which is why they struggled to put up number 755 and 500 respectively. We knew they would eventually hit 'em...but they showed that although legends, still fold under pressure.

Bonds is hitting just .245 in post-season play and ARod is only hitting .280 which is better but he was just 1 for 14 in his latest 2006 playoff stint. These two arguably the best 2 players of our time and perhaps all-time, yet they struggle when it counts. How much does that matter? Let's hear your thoughts.

Bonds Fails in the Clutch
