Barry Bonds Home Run Record, Tainted or not?

6
Vote

by Sportsdork36

Barry Bonds is 2 home runs off Hank Aarons career home run record of 755. Is this record tainted? Or Not? My feeling is that it is nice to see records broken because this sets the standards of future generations. Should this record have an asterisk by it because of the supposedly use of steroids? In the 90's anabolic drug use and steroids use was not illegal, it does not make it right, but it was not illegal. It is nice to see high scoring baseball games and home runs verses low scoring pitchers duels. Since I am close to Chicago, and Barry played against the Cubs this week, if I would have paid $200 to see all four games thinking that the record would/could have been broken and Barry Bonds only played in one and hit 2 home runs I would of been furious. What are your thoughts on the record being broken and the use of drugs and steroids in the game of baseball?

May the Force be with you!

the time warp would be awesome; having to re-read all of the bonds and vick stuff would not.

2 problems alex:

1) I don't live in Philly (and i never actually have!)

2) I was referencing "Rocky Horror Picture Show," sorry you're too "uncultured" to get it...

Wow. I didn't realise anybody outside of Philly would be so mad to as support their teams... :P As for the Rocky Horror Picture Show, I know of it, but have not seen it. Richard O'Brien wrote it I think. He is more famous over here for hosting "The Crystal Maze". He was unique in his style of presentation, playing a harmonica at times... It's a bit of a cult show over here, it was one of my favourites as a 5 year old! If you get chance type Richard O'Brien or The Crystal Maze into YouTube, and you'll see exactly what I mean!

Does anyone think Roger Maris' record of 61 homers in a season is tainted? I mean, he had 162 games to do it, Babe Ruth had 154.

Sportsdork, how can we talk about Bonds, if Hank Aaron has been stuck on 714 for weeks now?

you mean Aaron was stuck on 755, not 714. Babe Ruth would be stuck there.

So what do you guys think about the Earth cooling? Pretty soon there will be water oceans and only a few volcanic eruptions. Do you guys think this will taint the Earth? What if life begins? What if that life evolves into superhuman ballplayers who gain most of their muscle mass after their 35th birthday, and in a 1 year span? Will that taint the planet?
