He is relatively healthy, so he will break the record.
How does 2 weeks before the All-Star break sound?
Next Question:
Should we celebrate it?
What an awful question. I mean, think about it. Barry Bonds is about to break one of sports marquee records. We are looking at history; it should be a fun time. But unless you are a die-hard Giants fan, you like me are uncomfortable. There is a Mt. Everest of circumstantial evidence that suggests that his great push towards the record was aided by performance enhancing, eh… materials.
There is also a book, “Game of Shadows” that is necessary read for those that think he has been clean. Even without the performance enhancing issue, he is a smug, colossally arrogant, and thoroughly unrootable figure. The feeling I am left with is not anger it is resentment. This joyless pursuit of Hank Aaron’s record is bad for baseball. I love baseball; I resent what he is doing to it.
I just hope he gets within one homerun and has the guts to retire.
