And you wonder why attendance in the ballparks is down? He is such a happy person, a real team player:)

Statistics are nice, but different ballparks, different pitchers, different balls make Ruth's homerun mark different from Barry's. That is not to say that what Barry has accomplished is not very impressive, but they are hard to compare.

You've touched on something that has always intrigued me. Why is Bonds - someone with unimaginable fortune and fame - such an apparently miserable human being?

Not only that,but there were so few teams that you had to be an incredible player to make it in the majors. Now, there are SO MANY teams that guys hit'n .180 are playing.

Too many teams = not enough GOOD players.
