How did he turn his back on the team once he was taken out of the game? He left becuase he didn't want to be used as a puppet to sell tickets or give sound bites to the media who he didnt trust due to the way they treated his father.
A Roid is a different generation, plus he hasn't won 8 gold gloves and 5 MVP's. I would rather have Bonds in his prime than A-Roid, plus A-Roid sucks in the post season and I can't get the image of him slapping the ball out of Bronson Arroyo's glove like a little ***** in the 2004 ALCS out of my head. And yes, Griffey would have been better had he been able to stay healthy, but he didn't so he wasn't. Im not speaking in hypotheticals, Im speaking in terms of actual on field production.
griffey was sick
he isnt going to sell more tickets in the 8th inning
it was the last game of the season
he wasnt going to bat again so he left

Cain was better when he was 21, Cain just wasn't getting run support. Cain is only 24 so your "at his age argument" is worthless. I dont think there is anyone who knows anything about baseball that would right now take Kershaw and Billingsley, the Dodgers best 2 pitchers, over Lincecum and Cain, the Giants best 2 pitchers.
Say what you want about Bonds, he is still the greatest player of his generation, juiced or not.

Oh, and +1 to Griffey in his prime.

3 years is a big amount of on the job training (doesn't matter if it's MLB or McDonalds, you will improve in 3 years unless you're worthless). 3 years is the age difference between Cain and Kershaw. It DOES mean something, and if you think it doesn't you apparently haven't worked a job in your life.

Yes, and it was a week after the front office said they would not offer him another contract, he was giving the middle finger to the front office.

Whoa, he was taking ritalin (sp?) ?? That's why he was suspended? That's pretty damn lame, I thought he was on real roids or something.
Sorry if this info is false, but this is the second time Ive heard he was on ritalin... If thats true, I think its lame to be suspended for that

Ritalin is banned, it is not a PED and you have to test positive 2x for amphetamines before you recieve a suspension.
