Now i'm a mets fan but i was wondering if anybody else is kind of excited to see Bonds break the record?

Question

Remember he has not been proven guilty for steriords which the main purpose for taking is to help you heal faster. Also there is no proof that pitchers were not doin the same, and many people have been found guilty of it, Mcgwire, Palmeiro, Grimsley, Mota, Giambi etc.... so don't be to quick to judge one of the greatest hitters ever

Answer 1

Bonds will never get the recognition he deserves for his accomplishments and I believe Baseball will take a low profile on anything he might accomplish. Remember, other than the possible steroid issue, no one likes him. He might be the worst teammate ever, he wouldn't give you the time of day if you saw him somewhere, he alienated the press, and he is just a jerk. You are correct when you say he should not be judged but the fact that no one likes him will also be an issue in the events leading to the homerun title.

Answer 2

As a Giants fan it's about all we have to get excited about. We have great starting pitching-Matt Cain should be 12-1 but every time he pitches either he loses a 1-0 or 2-1 game or the relief pitching blows whatever lead he leaves.

Major League Baseball, after the Strike of '94-'95, I believe made a conscious decision to not enforce steroid policy in order to gain more revenue. The result was the great steroid fueled 60-70 homerun season of 1998 with McGuire and Sosa. It was then Barry Bonds, after already proving himself as one of the greats in the game, joined in the steroid power club to stay competitive at the new artificial level. He no longer uses, though he won't admit he ever did.
Putting MLB's legacy into context we await with pride seeing Barry Bonds break the record, which will probably be broken by Alex Rodriquez in a few years.

Answer 3

I am not excited about Bonds breaking the record. The steroid allegations put a shadow on it. I know he has never been proven to have taken steroids, but there are too many coincidences that need to be cleared up. I never liked his 'Flaxseed Oil' defense concerning the 'Cream' he rubbed into his muscles. Also on a personal level I do not like or respect him. His attitude toward other people and players is horrible. I especially did not like how he accused his teammate, Mark Sweeney, when amphedemines were found in Bonds' locker. Bonds has not been a professional throughout this ordeal.
I will admit that I respect Bonds' abilities. Steroids give mass but can restrict flexibility. Bonds still has to hit the baseball which is the most difficult thing to do in sports. He has my respect for that. But I will not be excited if and when he breaks Aaron's record.

Answer 4

The sun came up this morning but I personally didn't witness the event. From I know about astronomy I can reasonably assume that the reason it came "up " is because of the 1000mph eastward rotation of the Earth. In the absence of any significant evidence to the contrary I can safely assume that the Earth's rotation caused the illusion of the sun rising.
What i just described is called circumstansial evidence and it can and does place people on death row.
From 1995-2006* Barry Bond's average home run production increased by about 17.5 per year over the previous 10 year period including one off the chart year of 73 hrs. In addition his body got significantly larger and more muscular as he aged. The significant addition of muscle as one gets older than 30 is by no means normal for men . A reasonable person would safely assume that an outside agent was the cause of the additional muscle and the significant increase in home run production.
It doesn't matter at all whether or not that agent was legal .Barroid may not have violated the letter of the law But he sure as hell trashed the spirit of the law and for that he should be banned from MLB.
Baseball has many rules in place to encourage fair play. Rules such as the ones that prohibit spitballs, balks , corked bats, pine tar..... Clearly the intent of those rules is to prevent one player from gaining an unfair advantage over another player.
A person with the baseball pedigree that Bonds has positively had to understand both the letter and the intent of the rules that he chose to break. He knew the rules and he broke them anyway .
* By some marvelous coincidence this is the same period of time that some of Bonds contemporary's also saw a noticeble bulge in their career home run graphs. Hmmm
Put it this way : You have sex with your best friends 18 year old daughter . He finds out and properly beats the hell out of you for doing it. Was the beating justifiable ? Yes because while you were legally correct -she was of age- You were morally wrong because he was your best friend and you knew better.

Answer 5

Hell sure. The doorways are super. the tip is probable their best music - common and melodic, haunting, purely like their careers. Jim Morrison replaced into style of a freak, yet made some good song in his time. by no potential observed the action picture, and that i'm not that vast of a fanboy to comprehend any memories, sorry. i think of if Morrison have been alive now he could've prayed on the alter of Nirvana and Pearl Jam - those bands picked up a dormant thread in song that the doorways helped to outline - alienation and loneliness.

Answer 6

I think any record being surpassed, drugs or gambling or not, is exciting! I watched Rickey Henderson (attitude problems towards fans) break Lou Brock's record, watched Henry Aaron pass Babe Ruth's HR total up and saw Pete Rose get the hits record. I basically don't count Cal Ripken's game played streak because I think it's just like a "100% work attendence record" thing and deserves a "gold star" for effort.

Seeing the future HR record surpassed is going to be cool, no matter who breaks it while we're alive.

Answer 7

Bonds deserves it as much as the Yankees need another world series ring. he cheated and should have been kicked out way before he broke the single season home run record. When Hank Arron did it the record had meaning something but now Day there are few and few records that mean anything to players or teams.

Answer 8

I hate to see the greatest long ball hitter in the game to have his name removed from that #1 spot on the list (Hank Aaron) -but steroids or no steroids, it still takes a ton of talent to hit a 100mph fastball mixed in with a 70mph breaking ball over 400 feet and hit almost .300 for a career while being intentionally walked more than any other player. When Bonds hits #756, he deserved to be crowned the Home Run King.

Answer 9

I'm not to thrilled to see Bonds break Hank's record, because he has used so many steroids. I'm not saying that others have not used them as well, but Hank worked for that record, and Bonds has just cheated his way. It would be a little exciting to see a new name to the all time home run record though. And I am a Red Sox fan! :)

Answer 10

He is the greatest player of all time and I will be screaming when he breaks that record. A friend of mine from Mobile Alabama told me that it is common knowledge that Hank Aaron is a drunk and yet you never hear about that. Thats fine, thats his business. But dont hate someone because theyre not nice to the media. The media sucks. Barry rules and we will never see another 7 time MVP in our lifetimes.
