The only person waiting at Home-Plate to congrat barry was the BatBoy.

And that was only because the bat boy is Bonds's son.

Served 5 (count 'em, five) years for his country. Most players now wouldn't give up a night on the town for their country.

AND if we used the rules of sacrifice flies not being a time at bat, he would have hit 0.400 three times!

Sad day for America. I am so depressed...seriously. I think that Bonds has ruined baseball forever. I might even pull my son out of t-ball. I don't want him mistaking Bonds for a mentor or something.

If I were the one to catch his ball, I would have quickly written STEROIDS on it. I hope someone does this if and when he breaks Hanks record.

If there were a trial, the evidence would be overwhelming.

Jim Bunning was a Hall of Fame pitcher for the Tigers and Phillies

For the record I am a staunch conservative and a die-hard Phillies fan but.... Senator Jim is not he sharpest knife in the drawer.

How do you know he isn't using still? Wasn't his way of using, to shoot testosterone, then estrogen?

Your son might understand this. I was surprised at how much my nephews knew about the steroid use.

He cheated. It's not a real victory.

Teddy Ballgame was a top 4 or 5 player no doubt. But when asked who the greatest player ever was a few years ago Williams said "Babe Ruth and it's not even close".

You could be correct, However I would think with all the publicity that any smart man would stop using until the heat is off. Also his hitting has turned to crap.

However he could still be using.

His teenage son, Nikolai, a Giants bat boy, was waiting for him at home plate and they embraced.

He hides behind his kid, instead of taking his boooooos like a man. What a disgusting jerk.

Bonds was a great player who acheived loss of any and all deserved respect by cheating in an egregious manner.

Not only did Bonds cheat, he's one of the biggest jerks to ever play in any professional sport. He treats everyone around him like sh!t, and then sulks about why everyone hates him.
