It finally happened. Barry Bonds has passed Hammering Hank Aaron for first on the all time homerun list. It was a sight that should have made any baseball fan sick. Barry stopped the game and thanked everyone he could except his personal trainer who sits in jail because he refuses to tell the court exactly how much drugs Barry pumped into his system. And Barry forgot to thank Balco and their director, who also sits in jail, for his artificially inflated arms. Barry may have been a border line Hall of Famer prior to steroids, but now there should be no way he gets in. He broke the law, and cheated the game.
I hope the voters do the right thing and keep Barry out of Cooperstown. I also hope that Bud Selieg wakes up and deals with the problems before him. However, if there is one thing I know. Commissioner Bud will make the wrong choice, do something stupid, and try to sell baseball down the river for a quick buck.
So I'm guessing the "*" is not because Hank Aaron started playing for the Braves before the season length was increased in 1962 in the NL?
ReplyDeleteSelig hasn't already sold baseball down the river?
