We all have witnessed our favorite record breaking moment (there are many for sure) but even 'The Babe's 714 still stays fossilized in our minds. Could the Barry Bond 'moment' mean more to all of us than just a sporting record? Where will you be?...Your comment/debate all welcomed!

BTW, Steroids??...Sylvester Stallone was just fined about $10000 for bringing in a 'prohibitive' substance into Australia that he said he a 'script' for. The Feds finally caught on and witnessed him throwing 'stuff' out his harbour view hotel room (and is wasn't Tv's). Do I like Stallone..you bet I do!

If it were a player that didn't take steroids I would look at it as one of the most memorable days in sports history, and definitely the most memorable time in Baseball history. I'm not just saying Bonds is on steroids because that's what everyone says and because he has failed steroid tests.
Remember little skinny Bonds in 1986 that weighed 185 lbs and stole many bases? But now he's packed on 43 lbs of raw muscle. A player in his prime(usually 28-32, sometimes a little bit more or less) is when he performs his best at baseball. For Barry,in his prime from age 28-32 averaged a HR every 12.6 AB, then from age 33-42 he averaged a HR 9.9 AB. Its just not right for a baseball player to outlive his prime for 10 years, and improve everyone of those years all the way to age 40, when most players are retiring.

i think that the only participant who might desire to probably harm Bonds' seventy 3 single season domicile run checklist is Albert Pujols. right here is why, he has finished 40+ homers for the final 5 years in a row and purely in line with possibility if he has a breakout 3 hundred and sixty 5 days he can harm Bonds' seventy 3 checklist.

No. It certainly won't be respected and revered the way records of athletes who DON'T cheat are. It will be talked about because most people will continue to point to Hank Aaron's undrugged record. I think whenever a NON-juiced player beats Bond's record THAT will be an event that sticks in people's minds.

This will be huge any one who says other wise is not a baseball fan. There is no proof of the use of steroids and even more importantly there is no use of any use after they were banned. So all the Barry haters need to to find a new cause to work on because quite frankly this is getting a little old Barry is one of the best to ever suit up!

I believe it will be the biggest achievement in baseball. These people (anti-Bonds) talk tough when it comes to Barry Bonds, but if they hate someone so much, they do not have the proof to back their insults and claims up with. Only hide behind their mates or cover their faces at games, then start the namecalling. Bunch of cowards!
It will be distressing to the negative fans if he hits 756 on the road. We, on the other hand, will be smiling and laughing because there will be stunned silence and sad faces with tears on TV. San Francisco will be happy and the rest of the World will cry to sleep and become violent or riot.....

Nope. Not even close.
Thanks to Bonds' drug use being as prolific as his HRs, the achievement will be as small as a steroid user's tallywhacker.
I will be where I am supposed to be, and I won't need to remember where I was when it happened, because I don't give a rip about it. Leave that to the usual dullards who lack direction in their life, trying to feel important by tying it into their mundane existance. I have better things to do, and I hope you do, too, mate. Cheers! :)

You must be from San Fran because everyone else in the country knows he did steroids and thinks it will be a travesty to the game if he breaks it. It will only mean something to people from San Fransisco and Barroid.

No everyone knows that perfect games are the coolest. I mean I bet some guy comes around and breaks it in a few years.

Yes I think it is one of the biggest achievements in sports. I dont think any player has ever come this close to 755 before and Bonds is the first player to pass Ruth. Steroids or not, the fact that Bonds is this close shows his talent and what kind of hitter he is.
