Spanks--i'm sure the advent of weightlifting has nothing to do with anything. also, mcgwire's pre-strike 49 (as a ROOKIE), must have been some sort of aberration. unless you were referring to the '81 strike, in which the cardinals' 58 team homers in 1986 don't make a lot of sense.
in fact, my explanation for the Bonds thing is colossal karmic imbalance caused by three years of a cardinal having held the record--the gods simply couldn't take it anymore. and for what it's worth, we're in the playoffs, so narr. (:
