Bond's attitude and mouth is why he will never every replace Babe Ruth, even if he hits 2 times what Aaron did, he will never be in the same league.

"Bond's attitude and mouth is why he will never every replace Babe Ruth, even if he hits 2 times what Aaron did, he will never be in the same league."

Now, judging solely on anything and everything I have read about the Bambino, he wasn't exactly a classy guy himself. Pointing to the fence before stepping to the plate would put him in the same class as Bonds. The difference is that we didn't witness, first-hand, the "antics" of Ruth. The press went out of their way to hide the off-the-field adventures of the Sultan of Swat. And the press today doesn't give a lick about baseball, they're merely after whatever blood and controversy they can dig up.

As a ball player, you have to be impressed with Bonds. Personally, you don't have to like him at all, but the way I see it, he walks the walk.
