I'm waiting, still waiting for the apologists to show up. I know the refrain of their tune:

"It's FICTION, people!"

"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."

No, the fans cheered him, not booed him.

And, Bonds has never, ever tested positive for any performance enhancing drugs.

If you want to convict someone on innuendo and rumor, fine.

But it makes you look ignorant.

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



Honestly at 8 years old I would rather he not yet. It is a shame that we have these fake sports heros that end up screwing up our kids and your nephews.

All due credit to him. To my knowledge, nobody ever proved the steroid thing with him, so I salute him.

That is a great effort.

The achievement is incredible. Add to that these guys didn't have fitness trainers 24/7 and coaches who conveniently let slide certain peccodilloes(sp), like jamming needles into their butts.

Henry Aaron did this for real. Not Bonds.

Bump!

They made during the live Yankees-Mets coverage on this subject that was a classic. I think it was Tim McCarver who said something along these lines . . .

"In all my years in baseball I never could have imagined how anti-climactic it would be when someone tied Ruth's career home run total. Look at that clip of the home run we just saw on FOX . . . it was like just any other highlight clip from a major league game today."

With the help of steroids.

The only legit person to cross babe's record was Aaron.

I don't acknowledge Bonds.
