Barry Bonds finally got to 756 homeruns....and lucky for him, he hit it in San Francisco.  I'm torn on this.  To reach this milestone is a great feat but the possibility that it was reached with the help of steroids just taints it way too much for me to applaud Barry for acheiving it.  I've heard the argument, "Steroids doesn't help you hit a baseball."  Yep you're right it doesn't, it helps the baseball you do hit go further though.  So if Barry has been using steroids, how many homeruns of his may have fallen short if he wouldn't have been using it?  That question alone, without the answer of whether Barry has used or not, makes it hard to accept this 'new record' as legit.  But hey, for now, I guess it is so we will have to wait and see if A-Rod or Pujols, or maybe someone else, can break the new record.

But at least it's over.  Hopefully now, I can listen to something else besides talk about Barry Bonds when I listen to sports station regarding baseball.
