Well, in fairness to Bonds, though he DHed in last night's All Star Game, he has played his entire career in the DH-less National League, first with Pittsburgh and now of course with the Giants.

So none of his home runs have come as a DH (with the possible caveat that he might have DHed and hit home runs in a few interleague games played in AL parks.)

Watching him play in the outfield, he might as well be DH'ing.

That's true...but, he wants to finish his career as a DH.

If he hit his last HR's as a DH, in my view, the record would be "tainted."

I hate the DH rule.
