I’m glad that home run 756 has made it to the Hall of Fame.
I will not dignify the thing that was done to the ball nor the name of the man that did it, nor will I display a picture of his marketing logo.
However, I’m glad the ball is there. It is baseball history, and Bonds may not be the kind of hero you wanted him to be – but it’s way too late for everyone to get high and mighty about steroids.
There was a tickertape parade for Sammy Sosa in NEW YORK CITY (a parade for a Cub for hitting the second most homers ever?) so it’s really annoying at this point for people to hate Bonds or Clemens or for Keith and Gary to talk about how it was obvious in 1991.
It was obvious, and everyone kept their mouth shut and got paid.
Congratulations to the Home Run King, season AND career: Barry Bonds.
Gotta agree, MP. If we want to start picking baseball noses, how about the “greenie” years for asterisks, huh? What you say is totally true.
You can say anything doesn’t count. Ruth didn’t hit off African-Americans. The Yankees won in an 8 team league. Aaron got to DH. It’s all relative. At the end of the day, 73 homers is 73 homers.
