yeah I'm pissed it happened against my favorite bball team and really a bit disgusted so many were actually cheering after it happened.
well i think it was mixed but that is what you get everywhere. i mean some people dont think that he did it. but think people are just caught up in the moment of being at a game and it is exciting to see history, he hasnt broken the record yet
aaron - 755
bonds- 755*

Good for Bonds! Can't believe I missed it though. I've been watching every at bat of his for like three weeks now. I knew the one night I didn't watch he'd hit 755.

Well, now I'm rooting for the day that someone will break Bonds' record. I don't like him and he does not deserve it.

I'm going to open up a public poll on this: Does or Doesn't Bonds Deserve the Record.
I don't really care why you think or don't think he deserves it. I just want to know who falls on what side of the fence

He deserves it. I honestly think that the media makes him out to be a bad person because he doesn't give them the time of day. Congrats BBonds I hope you hit 100 more. Im glad he did it and one maybe someone will get it. Its truley exciting to see a milestone in sports like this one. When he fails the steroids test call me bitches.
Bonds played for the Prince William Pirates in like 85 or 86 and one night the power went out in the stadium due to a rainstorm. My dad, brother, and I were there, and I was like Im going to go down and try to get an auto from Bonds because we all knew he was headed to the majors (they pulled his cards out of the local set). I walked down to the fence and the first peron I talked to was Bobby Bonilla, I said he is Barry in there I want his autograph. Bonilla got Bonds and he came over and met me and signed a baseball for me. He was really a nice guy and we talked for a few granted I was 11 or so. I have always thought Bonds was a good guy and just becuase he doesn't give the media the time of day he's a bad guy? Ever think that just because Art Monk never talked to the media is the sole reason he's not in the HOF? Now before you all try to rip me for comparing the two completely different situations think about how the media can skew your opinions to think one way or the other. I believe that the media has turned fans against Bonds. Either way Im a fan of the guy and its really awesome to be old enough and alive to see a milestone record be broken.

What I've heard about Barry, and it's kind of weird, is that he gets along best with the younger players. I've heard a lot of people say that Bonds is a great teammate to guys who are just coming up from the minors or vets who ride the pine. It's the fellow stars that he tends not to get along with.

There are a number of reasons that the players of today are better overall athletes than the players of yesteryear. Year-round training, nutritional supplements, LASIK surgery, and improved medicine have made it possible for these numbers to fall. While Bonds almost certainly imrpoved his numbers using illegal drugs, so too did many players in the past - amphetamines were common, and even supplied in clubhouses as recently as 25 years ago.
I long for the day when a player can hold this record without the taint of a scandal. I also don't know if or when that will happen. But it willbe Barry's record until then.

I want him to break it. He hit those balls with a wooden bat just like all the other guys. It's simple, he derserves it.
