If Ryan Howard breaks 61 in the next 2 weeks, THAT is the record that should stand. The Maris Family has already said as much as well, and I agree.

I should have read the thread before posting - - re: post #39, I see you beat me to it.
BUMP what you said.

Unfortunately Howard doesn't have a threatening bat behind him in the lineup, so expect alot of walks.

Bears repeating:

Unfortunately, MBL counts HRs by steroid users (McGwire, Sosa and Bonds).

Howie Rose of WFAN called Roger Maris' 61 the "People's Record". I like that. If we all fete Howard for beating that, which he will, MLB will have little choice but follow suit eventually.

Hey, use guys, envious, jealous, RACIST! Corn Flakes is legal ain't it?

What about foo stams?

[Free ThinkerNY]

Too many steroids

[Lancey Howard]

Conine has been doing great, making other teams pay.
It's to the point now where teams are routinely walking Howard even when first base is occupied. A few weeks ago Phil Garner intentionally walked Howard to lead off the bottom of the ninth inning of a tie game, putting the winning run on base. Howard is being walked with guys on 1st and 2nd. Etc. It's unbelievable.

"What about those stereos everyone is talking about?"

He's been drug tested up the ying yang and no steroids.

Bottom line you can have ex people of his, people who compete against him or whatever, you still need to prove it with evidence, not story tales IMO.

Would that be Brian Fisher? Brian's son died from cystic fibrosis, and he was having a charity auction. Barry was asked Barry to sign a ball, and barry reportedly replied, f**k you and f**k brian fisher.

Who can also forget this, barry refusing to sign his home run ball 713 for a serviceman:

I just read about that tonight, I gave up on the Phillies after the players were allowed to run Larry Bowa out, but I keep up with the goings-on in print. Even Mike Schmidt is amazed with the guy.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.....

Exactly. "Bionic man breaks bench-press record."

[JRjr]

Does Balco get credit in the record books?

[the invisib1e hand]

This is right about the time I quit paying attention to Barry Bonds.

Steroids make guys a bit nutty, too.

Although he does point to the sky when he hits a homer, doesn't he? That's nice.

We've gone from outrage when the East Germans were doing it (and no demands for proof then), to "never proven" when the heroes of our white guilt are doing it. A fine mess, Stanley!

[popdonnelly]

And the reason anyone should care is? Bonds will get a place in the steroids (cheater) section of Cooperstown.

Howie Rose of WFAN called Roger Maris' 61 the "People's Record".

Terribly ironic considering the asterisk (of a kind) associated with 61 for so long.
