After an entire season of questions and speculation, Commissioner Bud Selig has finally announced his plans for attending Barry Bonds' record breaking 756th home run game:
"Throughout this season, I have watched Barry Bonds' pursuit of the home run record. Now that he is on the verge of tying the record, the time has come to announce that I will make every attempt to attend the record-setting moment," Selig said in a statement.
"Out of respect for the tradition of this game, the magnitude of the record, and the fact that all citizens in this country are innocent until proven guilty, I will attend Barry Bonds' next games to observe his potential tying and breaking of the home run record, subject to my commitments to the Hall of Fame this weekend."
Well, looks to me like Bud carefully chose his words there. Privately, he's probably hoping that Barry breaks the record over the weekend so he doesn't have to be there. Now that would leave the door open for a lot of criticism -- which should Bud attend -- the Hall of Fame inductions, or Barry's games? Either way, most people finally received the answer they were waiting for, and the answer they felt Bonds and baseball deserved.
