Barry Bonds passes Henry Aaron with # 757.
Love him or hate him, it's gonna happen.
Right now Bonds sits at 746.
I expect that his next flurry is around the corner, and Bonds closes in on the record between the 4th and mid July.
Now, what does baseball do to celebrate this historical feat?

I hope that MLB as a whole does not fully recognize Bonds when he ties/breaks Aaron's record.
If any record deserves an asterisk it is most certainly this one.

As a purist myself, I don't think that the record holds the same meaning as when Aaron did it.
The whole decade is tainted with statistical credibility......kind of similar to the "live ball" era when Ruth and others went nuts.

Bonds ties Aaron last night with number 755.
Selig was euphoric (sic).
LOL.
We should all have been satisfied to witness such a monumental moment........I watched, but I really didn't care.
What a shame.

Turns out Aaron got paid for the spot.
How sad.
