An Unfortunate Post


I feel compelled to post about this, so here goes:

Barry Bonds is without any doubt whatsoever a steroid user, a liar, a cheater and a general bastard to any and everyone who has crossed his path. Not only is his 756th home run a dark stain on a wonderful game, it's a stunning display of selfishness and ego that shames all of us who follow America's great pastime. No future indictments, fines, punishments or even record-book asterisks can ever make up for my embarrassment for baseball at this moment, or the deep feelings of remorse and regret I feel for those who have already given up on the game's integrity. Today, it feels genuinely awful to be a fan.

This is a strong indictment. (You obviously care more about this than I do.) Don't you think though that modern baseball records are affected by lots of things? Perhaps they should divide up the record books into time periods. Bonds can hit a baseball.
