The seven time Most valuable Player, Barry Lamar Bonds annihilated a curve ball to the right center field bleachers to become Major League Baseball’s King of Kings of homeruns by breaking Hank Aarons 33 year old record. Some people are under the impression that 756 deserve an asterisk, however I beg to differ. Bonds has never failed a drug test and if they had any ounce of sufficient evidence against Bonds Bud Selig and the hierarchy of baseball would have prevented 756. Bonds record breaking moment is special because he went 3 for 3 and was a triple shy of obtaining the cycle. 756 is just the tip of the Golden Gate Bridge because Bonds has two good years left in his 43 year old body and 800 homeruns could be reached as soon as next year. 3,000 hits isn’t too far behind as well. Until Bonds is found guilty, which I predict is unlikely at this point; we must celebrate one of the prized records in all of sports. Heck, you may even see me purchase a 756 new era hat. Congratulations to Barry Lamar Bonds and an even greater thanks to Aaron and Selig for their classiness even though there is no secret of their less than fond feelings for Bonds.
