Imagine if Aaron could have pumped up with steroids in his final 5 years of playing.

Seriously, no one I know gives a crap about Bonds breaking this record. It will forever be cheating to true fans of the sport.

Twenty-eight percent of whites and nearly 75 percent of blacks said they were hoping Bonds succeeds.

I suspect that if Bonds were "clean" and whether he was a jerk or not, the vast majority of whites would wish him good luck and success.

OTOH, if it were a white player seeking the record that was held by a black man, clean or not, jerk or not, the majority of blacks would wish for failure.

It's an ugly reality.

I think instead of running around the bases to touch 'em all, when Bonds goes yard for the 756th time, he should hop into the back seat of a white Ford Bronco driven by A.C. Cowlings and circle the bases that way.
