Bonds: "I won't stop until I beat Oh"

Tokyo, November 2, 1974: Two players who would finish their careers with a combined total of 1,623 home runs meet for a batting showdown at Korakuen Stadium. Hank Aaron of the Braves, left, broke Babe Ruth's career record earlier in the year, and would bring his total to 755 before retiring. Japanese star Sadaharu Oh, right, ended up with 868. With them is Brent Musburger of CBS, which sponsored the home run contest that Aaron won, 10-9. It was also Aaron's last appearance as an active player in the uniform of the team with which he started in Boston and moved to Milwaukee and Atlanta; he was traded to the Brewers the next day.

I'd bet Bonds would dwarf both of them, but not in skill.

No roids here Barry.

Brent looks like he needs a few removed.

[JennysCool]

"WTF TV" ? How appropriate!

[usmcobra]

It's the whole I looked like John Kerry before John Kerry looked like John Kerry thing he has going on.

The Jacket is a dead given away.

[Cyclopean Squid]

Doesn't look like it's in his prime. Aaron's best years were when the Braves were in Milwaukee, and that photo was taken after they had moved to Atlanta (evidenced by the "a" on his cap). I haven't read it yet, but Aaron has an autobiography called "I had a Hammer" that is supposed to be superb.

[Kenny Bunkport]

Or in class.

lol!

[Richard Kimball]

This is either a gag or that's the worst television station since Ted Baxter did the news for WJM. The "news" link doesn't work, there's only one story on each of the other tabs, and the guy who says he went to high school with Bonds doesn't have a byline on his story?

"Hank Aaron? [expletive] that guy," He said. "I can outhit him, and besides, I'm not even worried about him. I'm not worried about the American record, they're going to 'star' me anyway. I'm going for the best in the world."

Barry needs to watch the movie "Mr 3000" (It was on AMC this last weekend.) Heck, Barry Bonds could have taken Bernie Mac'[s place in the movie.

[dfwgator]

Is this satire?

I think the "WTF-TV", should be the first clue.

[discostu]

I'm having a hard time believing there's really a TV network whose callsign is the standard abreviation for What The F#$*, are we sure this isn't a piece of satire.

[Fester Chugabrew]

Make that, "Just say oh to steroids."

[GraniteStateConservative]

They won't sign a guy who broke Babe Ruth's record, since Ruth made the Yanks the legend that they are.

Aaron's best years were when the Braves were in Milwaukee, and that photo was taken after they had moved to Atlanta (evidenced by the "a" on his cap).

Incorrect.

When Aaron played for the Milwaukee Braves he averaged 33 home runs per season; after the team moved to Atlanta he averaged 37 home runs per season.

[Al Simmons]

It was linked on Drudge, and appears to be legit. If Drudge got fooled its a pretty clever mock-up.

[skeeter]

868 HRs? I'm buying all the Numico shares I can afford.

[GraniteStateConservative]

What The F#@k is the clue.

Decatur Cable is a division of Peacock Media whose industry-leading businesses include interactive services, cable systems, publishing, music, TV networks, fritters and filmed entertainment.

[scrabblehack]

Ah -- I'm disappointed in Drudge -- of course the site is a fake. It claims to be a Las Vegas TV station -- I didn't think there were any TV stations west of the Texas/New Mexico line heading north to North Dakota/Montana that began with "W." And yes, WTF should have tipped him off as well.

What are fritters? Fake sites such as the one in this post?

[McGarrett]

Hey, who are those guys with Brent Musberger?
