Comments on: Barry Bonds Breaks Home Run Record

Hank Aaron, Baseball Commissioner No Shows For Big Moment

[mikealford3]

Just think, Barry Bonds has more intentional walks than most MLB players have hits and nearly as many as the Babe had home runs. Imagine what the number of home runs would be without all those walks.

What are the 'Times At bat' stats for Aaron and Bonds? I can't seem to find it.

Thanks

Nothing like starting your morning drinking on some of that haterade. You wonder why he's so *** mean spirited and abrasive, because nobody leaves me the hell alone. He crushes homeruns and does it well and has NEVER had a failed drug test. Start your morning with coffee or a McMuffin and put down the haterade.

Thank you so much for the post. You are correct. American's are so quick to judge and demean because they don't want their heroes to fall off the shelf. If Hank Aaron could hit 755 home runs 30+ years ago, why is it so hard to believe a man could do that today? Why not celebrate rather than critize?

ekucrew: In answer to your question about who caught the ball..."A fan wearing a Mets jersey wound up with the historic ball. Matt Murphy of New York emerged from the stands with the souvenir and a bloodied face, and was whisked to a secure room".

Maybe you didn't see it because...it's in the article.

The ONE, the ONLY GREAT BASEBALL PLAYER was BABE RUTH. Baseball can have the rest of them.

WHO CAUGHT THE BALL?

[mainer601]

"Clear"...ly the home run king.

[luvny-2009]

Henry Hank Aaron is the man!

Inspite of what is being said and reported, this is still U.S. he is is innocent till proven guilty. The drug use is still only an allegation. He has not been tested positive. So I say congrats Mr. Bonds. Still love you - I'm a Pittsburgher and long time fan.

Roger Clemens, Mark Mcgwire, Sammy Sosa, Randy Johnson... All obvious juicers, but they didn't pass Hank so they are all OK?

were the pitchers in ruth's time throwing 100 mph fast balls (and possibly taking steroids too)?

[justfacts2]

Amazing! Truely amazing what you can accomplish with steroids these days.

[crusher1963]

On Monday Bonds was an a**-bag without a home run record. Now he is an a**-bag with a home run record.

[opedanderson]

Fake, fake, fake, and more fake. It's Tour de France, East German track team, and Chinese swim team fake....He deserves nothing but an intervention and rehab.....

Hank Aaron rules!!!

BOOOO!! He is a cheater!!

[bobnjersey]

congrats barry ... still crackin' them over the fence ... still a great feelin to watch them sail.

obviously you must have been taking those timed released and long lasting steroids ... how on earth would you still be able to hit homers like that?

Go look at Barry Bonds rookie card and look at his size. Then look at his size now...
I remember sneaking a small black and white tv up to my bedroom so I could watch Hank Aaron break the record that night. Hank Aaron was a great baseball player with class. Barry Bonds has been a jerk and has shown no class many times...he will always be a loser in my eyes. You can look at him the way you want...and I'll try not to notice him.
