Bonds is a classic "other team's bad guy" and he since he's big, black, mean-looking, and plays in "that gay city" too, he must be the only problem.
Looks like most of FR is just as naive as Selig. ;)

Kudos. You played the racism and homophobia card in the same sentence. Bonds is a juiced up POS who would have never got anywhere near the record without being juiced. His pre -’98 proves that - along with his mistress’ testimony and various other sources [read GAME OF SHADOWS yet?]. He [and his “record”] should be ignored.
You're not allowed to point that out. Or..
The fact is much of Bonds' work from 1999 to 2004 -- during a time many of us believe he was juiced -- can't be touched by an asterisk. Baseball had no policy against steroids during this time. You can't break a rule that wasn't there.
Bonds is for some reason held to a different standard. I for one congratulate him on his accomplishment and frankly think that video recording by Aaron was a slap in the face. No one from the Aaron family was there like the Maris family was for McGuire and Selig couldn't slink in either.
