This is truly a sad day in baseball. I'm so glad my baseball playing son didn't get to see this. Hell, I didn't see this, and I really don't want too. i just want A-Rod to break this record within the next 5 years. Everybody outside of those dellusional 40,000 people at that stadium should seriously be depressed. it's not just the steriods either. Bonds is an @$$hole who dosen't care about his family, friends, owners, teammates, or fans. He cheats on his wife, his taxes, and the game.

If Pete Rose and Shoeless Joe Jackson can't make it into the hall of fame, than this scum shouldn't.

Hank Aaron maybe used steroids too. Or at least his teammates did.

Also, look at Davey Johnson in 1973. 43 homers. His second-best year was 18. Maybe nothing, but certainly odd.

I'm just really glad it's over with. A friend of mine talked about it today, he actually said he feels Barry would hit it tonight, but we both agreed that we want it to happen as soon as possible.

. I see a mix of responce here and can't help but think what a shame it is for some of you to dump on Bonds. No man is without sin, No man should judge another unless he be judged. Barry Bonds has been put through hell by the media and those that would believe their venom laced vendetta campain. He has overcome adversity beyond comprehension. Through it all, he has been a model of what a baseball player should be. Yet, some call for his head and make him out to be the "end all of Baseball" You say what you want. I say it's a shame.

To those who can't wait until someone...anyone breaks this record, neither can i. I look forward to it whoever it might be. It is not going to be easy. There is a lot more to it than to just "do the math." But for now my wish is that we all come together as fans of the Game, give Barry his due, and appreciate that we have gotten to wittness a unbreakable record broken by one of the very best players to ever play the game.

Its a sad day for baseball. One of the most important records of all-time is broken by a cheater. I was hoping that he broke his ankle rounding third but it didnt happen. Hopefully someone will pass it soon. The record was held my a very strong respectable man and know its help by a cheater.

I'm not depressed, nobody cares if you don't like him, I don't care if you don't like him and he sure as hell doesn't care if you don't like him. He's not the greatest person to ever play the game, nobody is perfect, but that doesn't matter, likeablity doesn't matter, but respect does. I guarantee you all of his peers respect him and if not, then I guarantee you ever single pitcher that he has faced respects Barry Bonds and what he can do with a bat in his hands. You can cry all you want to but reality is reality. Whether you like it or not, despite the steroids, despite who he is as a person, Barry Bonds is the new home run king. And the fact of the matter is this was allowed to happen, so deal with it. Everyone keeps on saying this is a sad day for baseball but its not. A sad day for baseball will come when there is no baseball.

Wow, big day for Bonds finally. He's truly one of the greatest hitters ever, and I'm not surprised to see his name at the top of the list. The man's got crazy bat game.

What was it like in person witnessing Barry hit 756? Where you near the ball? Did someone punch you in the face? Did you reach for ass and titties instead of the ball?
