Barry Bonds: The Asterisk* Man

No Barry, don’t do it Barry, why do you have to be a self-centered cheater who seems out to destroy the great American pastime’s reputation? You’re to old to be hitting this good and your head is to big for you to claim to be steroid free, we know you lying.

The sad but simple truth is this. No matter how much everyone wishes Barry’s knee would give out one final time leaving him just short of the record, it’s not going to happen. Personally I would be willing to give up my XBOX360, my left elbow, and my pillow to prevent Bonds from breaking the record, but sadly sacrifices don’t really accomplish anything these days.

He is already eleven homerun’s deep into the season and only ten away from Hank Aaron’s precious record do the math. The only thing we can do is to sit back and marvel at his outstanding career.

Barry is second in all-time homeruns, first in walks, and first in MVP’s with seven. He is also the only Major Leaguer in history to hit at least five hundred homeruns and steal at least five hundred bases. An argument in Bond’s defense is no matter how many steroids’ you inject into your ass you need a phenomenal amount of skill to succeed like he has. Like it or not folks, Barry is good, really good.

In all reality it doesn’t matter whether Bond’s breaks the record or not, he will still go down in history as the most hated, disputed, and one of the best baseball players of all-time. So I suppose it would be better to say thanks, Thank you Barry for giving us sports fan’s something to fill up our otherwise dull lives with, we owe you one.
