Mr. Asterik (aka Barry Bonds) breaks the record

I wasn't 100 percent sure if this should be here or in politics...we'll try here...feel free to move it if need be.

Thank god this is over.  All the Bonds supporters can now cheerfully gloat and claim this juiced up dude as the new home run king.  Whoopee.

There is only ONE true king of home runs and his name is Henry "Hank" Aaron. Period. This is one you'll never change my mind on, so don't even bother to try.  All the flaming posts in the world will never convince me that Aaron isn't a better player than Bonds.

I have heard it said that McGwire and Sosa's single season run records need asteriks also.  I agree - anyone of these blowhards that made it through the steroid era of baseball needs asteriks by ANY record they tied or broke. 

To those that say Bonds never used the stuff, I say come on - has anybody seen the footage of him in a pirates uniform when he started out, verses today in a Giants uniform. What? You're telling me that's just fat / old age? Yeah, whatever.  If that's the case, then give me a contract - I'm in at least as good a shape as he is right now, and we're not that many years apart in age (I'm a tad younger, I think, at 39).

There will also be those that say Aaron should have been there.  I say to the devil with that.  Henry Aaron owes not one single person a blasted thing.  Where were all of you when he was receiving death threats during his run?  Bonds has no clue - NOT ONE - of what Aaron went through.  This "steroid investigation" pales in comparison to what Aaron endured.  I know you Bonds lovers cannot stand that, but it's true. Finally, come to grips with this: Bond's record will stand at best only 8 to 10 years before A-Rod breaks it at the clip he's going right now (if he stays healthy) - a paltry number compared to Ruth and Aaron.

At any rate, it's finally over and now the sports world can FINALLY focus on something else...like SEC football (go Dawgs), or hockey, or something such as that.

Whew....(pant, pant, pant)....Boy, do I know how to make friends or what?   :laugh2:

I agree with your post in its entirety RTS.

Below is what I posted in the other Bonds thread:

Well Barry passed Aaron tonight.  I didn't see it happen, but apparently they ran a taped message from Aaron on the stadium board.  Here is what he said:

"It is a great accomplishment which required skill, longevity and determination."

"Throughout the past century, the home run has held a special place in baseball and I have been privileged to hold this record for 33 of those years. I move over now and offer my best wishes to Barry and his family on this historic achievement."

"My hope today, as it was on that April evening in 1974, is that the achievement of this record will inspire others to chase their own dreams."

Aaron is a class act.

Well, I feel a bit idiotic for starting a second thread on this...what with the previous one not more than two-three notches down.  Sorry, it must have been the steroids acting up. Well, not really....I mean, you know I didn't know what was in that pill the wife gave me.  Guess that was why I was awake at 4 AM crowing like a rooster.  But I really didn't know what it was...   ;D

Lets see 1974...... I was still sperm in my dad's sack.

Speaking of ball bags, who exactly cares about Barry Bonds anymore?
