Good Work Barry

Barry Bonds breaking Hank Aaron's home run record is an amazing achievement. 756 home runs in 21 and a half seasons of baseball is unbelievably impressive.

Yes, he may have taken steroids, which would certainly help you hit the ball further but you still need the skill to hit the ball.

My main complaint about the whole situation is the way he is being treated by the media and fans. He has never been found guilty. Mark McGwire, also suspiciously big, suspected of steroid abuse and never found guilty, was hugely celebrated by media and fans alike in 1998 when he broke the single season home run record. In a different sport, Lance Armstrong has been accused of drug abuses after dominating the sport and has never been found guilty, yet he is still an American hero. All 3 acheived amazing things. All 3 have been suspected of cheating. Only 2 are considered sporting heroes? Hmmm.
