Chris CountsI would think that Bud Selig's job description would compel him to come and watch Bonds hit the home run. He must do something to justify that obscene eight figure salary he gets. Is he paid that much to simply sit around and decline comment on any controversial subject?
By the way, Peter, how come Joann can't be a jock?
Joann, I agree with a lot of what you say. I think the whole steroid thing is way overblown. I also don't really care who used steroids. In the world of drugs, I believe that what goes up must come down, and I can't believe any player benefits long-term from using steroids (see Ken Caminiti). Just as I don't believe the players dating back to the 1960s who popped greenies (a friendly term for speed) received any long-term benefits ...
Yes, Bonds is a cranky individual. So was Aaron. And yes, Aaron dealt with a lot of really awful stuff, but so do a lot of people who aren't so cranky. I just hope A-Rod isn't so cranky when he gets close to the record ...
