Barry's hit 735. Unofficial Countdown. Mr. Idelson or somebody else from the Hall of Fame plans to be present when 755 is hit even if Bud Selig isn't. |

I 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? |

He says he's got one more season in him. I wouldn't bet against it. Of course, there's always Sadahara Oh for folks who hate Bonds. Or Josh Gibson if you don't mind counting all the semi-pro exhibitions and the years in Latin America. I hit 231 home runs in the neighborhood whiffle ball league in the summer of 1982, if you want to broaden your horizons a bit. I would have hit more, but the plastic A's helmet I wore to imitate Dwayne Murphy didn't fit well and often obstructed my view of the ball. I don't mind saying I was awesome! |

Wouldn't it be funny if San Francisco was in Atlanta when Bonds breaks the HR record... I wonder if Hank would be there then? Personally, I don't blame Hank for not wanting to be there because he worked for that achievement. I don't think Barry would have gotten this far without the enhancement effort. Don't get me wrong, Barry would have put up some great numbers but (IMO and I'm sure most would agree) 755 would not have been one of them. |

I believe Barry the cheating Bonds will break the home run record. But you got to think how long will it last. A-rod has 474 i believe. The way hes going he could hit 800 to 850 home runs(With the yankees). Lets say a-rod hits 40 a year and plays for 8 more years that would be 794. And he'll hit more then 40 a couple of times. I think it would be great if arod could break it and bring the record back to the yank's. |

Jay, you are wrong about the NY press. If Bonds were in NY he'd be run out of town. The NY press is brutal and has no patience for that crap. Bonds wouldn't have lasted very long here as the scrutiny is only about 100x more than it is in SF. Just notice how ARod is treated: he's a first ballot HOFer and is abused on a daily basis in the NY papers, booed by the home fans, etc. NY is the toughest place to play in the country with the greatest rewards. That's the way it's been for a very long time. |

The good thing for players is that the NY media and fans have a short attention span (e.g. Giambi). |

Cobby, you beat me to Giambi. Yes, the NY media is brutal, but only when you don't produce and Arod didn't live up to expectations, so he got hammered by the press. Just imagine how the NY press would have reacted if Bonds had been a Yankee put up those monster seasons he had. He would be lifted on a pedestal above Ruth. |

Giambi was eventually given a pass because it was revealed that he told the truth in the grand jury which is more than I can say for Bonds. Giambi was pounded by the press...until there was nothing really left of him here. He's become a quietly productive player but hardly a star here. ARod has done in NY exactly what he has done his entire career -- and he only has gotten destroyed by the NY press. |

not on roids. Im not saying Bonds didnt take steroids, it sounds like half of baseball was taking them at some point. But Barry was an amazing player when he was skinny and one of the best hitters of all time before he hit 73 dingers.....Now he is 43 years old and on pace to maybe hit 45 more this year. I dont like him as a person,. but the guy is one of the top 5 hitters of all time, period. How many MVPs has he won? Geez.....hes awesome and his bat speed was incredible when he was in college. |

The 1994 strike was a big deal. The World Series was cancelled. Fans said F-unc this. Baseball ratings were down in subsequent years, which means that advertising revenues were down too. Something had to be done. And it was. MLB juiced the ball. HRs went up. In 1998 two players hit over 60 HRs. This is statistically essentially impossible. |
