It was a very sad day when Barroid broke Ruth’s record. It will be even sadder when he breaks Aaron’s. I will be wearing black the following day, because I will be in mourning.

I will always envision an asterisk with this “record”. I teach my son that Aaron is the real home run hitter.

And it impacts YOUR life HOW to be there when the very unpleasant and surly posterboy for steroids hits a few more out of the park?

Jeezzz. Some folks really DO need to get lives.

I'd like visible handguns to be unnecessary while also not striking fear in the hearts of average citizens.

I was kinda hoping that Bonds would set a season high record for walks this season...........Its still do able.......

“first-row of the upper deck, just off home plate”

I’m guessing however the l,c & right field bleachers, where a home run would go are pretty much sold out.

It usually isn’t difficult to get a seat to the game, especially in the upper deck, where the reporter was looking. Seats in the lower section for upcoming games are much more difficult to find. If you want 3 or more seats together in the lower section you will pay $100 ea ($60 over face value). The problem now is the Giants are horrible. This week they will play the Marlins.... BORING. Two horrible teams playing each other. The only excitement is Barry and that will drive ticket sales. If Barry is within 1 of the record you won’t find a seat below $500 in the lower section.

One can certainly debate the significance of Aaron's record (times at bat,games,etc) but Bonds is a punk and I could certainly understand if Aaron was as p*ssed as all get out by Bonds' record.

Why is this Bonds even allowed to remain in baseball? he's a punk.

The Bonds Slump (Patent Pending) broke early because nothing is at stake just now.

Technically he’s three shy. He is at 753 and two more would tie. At least the last time I checked (about 10 minutes ago). Did I miss one?
