Sports – Barry Bonds hit No. 756 over the right-center field wall Tuesday night, and hammered home the point: Like him or not, legitimate or not, he is baseball's new home run king.
Just because MLB hasn't banned steroids does not make it right! - where have our hero's gone? This is such a bad influence on young athletes.- Some of our best young athletes (High school, etc) are using steroids and don't understand the long-term effects involved. They figure if Bonds can do it, whats wrong with them doing it.
There is no proof -- legal proof-- that he used steroids, at least yet. So I guess he holds the record. But it will always be under a cloud because people will make up their own minds regardless of proof or the lack of it.
It's sort of a shame because he was a Hall of Fame player before he started hitting homers by the gazillions. One wonders how many of the line drive doubles he used to hit might have been turned into homers by steroids.
How is it that the guy's caught using will try and bring down other's they are jealous of,instead of bringing down the suppliers of the drugs themselves? Hmmmm sounds fishy to me.I wouldn't believe the guy if his mouth came notorized. And for those who did use and were caught,they have made the game diluted,and generic and should be in prison for looting ticket holders of their money to see a legitamate baseball game,and for fraud.Lock em up and fine the heck out of them,they deserve it.As for Barry he stands alone as the new HOME RUN KING.And no amount of whinning will change that.

I don't think you can dismiss talent even if Bonds did use performance enhancing drugs. Most of us could take steroids and not be able to hit a ball into the outfield much less into the bleachers. We live in a cynical age.
Congratulations Barry.
