I am rooting for Bonds to break the so-called “record” that Aaron “holds” because it is so phony to begin with. Aaron hit 755 homers in almost TWICE the number of At-Bats (12,364) as Babe Ruth (8,399). If the Babe had hung around as long as Aaron, he would have had over 1400 homers! Ruth’s record was a far greater feat. Aaron does not deserve the record. Bonds has very nearly equaled that heat, having had only 1,000 more at-bats as Ruth. But to me the greatest record is HR/at-bat, and it is doubtful that anyone over 500 HRs will ever equal Ruth.

He used steroids to bulk up as he did. No question about it.
What baseball and the fans do with that is up to them.
