This would have been much more exciting for me if someone I didn't think cheated to get there had done it.

Wait another five to ten years and you'll get to see someone else do it. Maybe someone who isn't suspect.

I am not a sports nut and frankly don't even like baseball.
At the same time I do listen to the news and am aware of what goes on.. To me Barry Bonds is nothing and when I saw Hank Aaron concede his record I felt sad.
Mr. Bonds, his family and friends can carry around all the pride they want to, but he knows in his heart he is a cheater.

Seeing how tons of players have been taking steroids, and haven't been doing nearly as good as Bonds (i.e. Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, Jose Canseco, etc.), I think it's obvious his skill level is/was extremely high - and maybe he does deserve this record. Regardless, I think it will be broken by A-Rod within the next 10 years and we're pretty sure he isn't on steroids, but then again, how can we be so sure? For all we know 50% of MLB players could be on them! After all, there are certain kinds that aren't detectable.

of COURSE A-ROd has doen steroids!!!
look at the man. are people this dumb?! they have all done steroids! the human body does not grow like that.
i challenge you to go back to the pre-arnold schwarzenegger (growth hormone) era and find me one BODY BUILDER who is structured like A-Rod! AND HE'S NOT EVEN A BIG BALL-PLAYER!!
do you really think that humans gave undergone some massive leap in evolution?! we do NOT grow that way!
diet and supplements do not account for anything more than an increase in general health and operational well-being, they do not change the biological process!
atheletes are doing things that unnatural because they are taking things that are unnatural... and the rest of the leagues are taking unnatural things just to keep up. believe that.
why is lance armstrong not under the same microscope?! what he did is not only impressive, it is impossible! and people get in line to drink the kool-aid and where his bracelets! no one hates him for doing steroids.

I believe Barry Bonds used steriods. I believe Barry Bonds is a difficult man who is needlessly hard to get along with. I also believe that Barry Bonds is the greatest player of his generation and perhaps even a couple of generations back. His accomplishment of hitting 756 homeruns was not done by steroids. Steroids didn't hit a 95 mph fastball and the fact that he knocked it out of the deepest part of AT&T at age 43 while obviously not on the juice indicates that he is a special player. There have been truly awful individuals who just happened to be great ballplayers, and they are honored today as great ballplayers. I sincerly hope that history forgets the steroid controversy and Bonds prickly personality and gives him his due as the greatest player of the late 20th and early 21st century.

no he can hit the ball.
but the roids allowed him to play games he otherwise would not have played.... allows quicker recovery....
he's talented.. but a cheater..
if he gets into the hall.. Pete Rose should also be there...

Oh that makes sense! Hank was also was a good player in the field, did it without roids and in far fewer games than Bonds. But I guess none of that really matters. San Fran is still how many games out? Thirteen? Apparently it takes more than hitting home runs to win games. Racist? I fail to make the connection. Get over yourself.

um... barry bonds is the best baseball player ever, but he definately used steroids. hate to burst your bubble, but like every other major athelete, he has used enhancers. its the way sports are played these days.
or do you think that around 1980 all of sudden human beings just started running faster? a huge leap in evolution happene d without anyone knowing it?

the Babe is the best ever for the simple fact he was the greatest hitter of his day AND ALSO one of the best pitchers, said to have a blazing fastball. Held a couple pitching records for decades, one was the most consecutive scoreless innings in the series, if memory serves.
They showed the bat he used
looked like a small tree
don't think he'd be allowed to use it today
some athlete

Way to go Mr. Bonds. Gongrats to Barry thanks for the history. Personally, I don't care if you did or didn't use steroids thanks for the great memory.

Even Bond's Godfather.. Willy Mays.. thinks Ken Griffey Jr. is a better player..
I'd agree..
Bond's father who was a GREAT player is probably rolling over in his grave.....

Yeah, and if Ted Williams hadn't fought in WW2 he might have hit 800. It doesn't matter. Alex is going to shatter this record.

Probably over half the guys in Bond's era took roids... so it's all relevant... Ruth in his time was amazing... Babe Ruth would get cut from Santa's High School team... Certainly not Santa's High School debating team... Bozo!!! I will take Mays over Aaron!

You white folks AMAZE ME!!!!!
It would not matter what black man broke the record RACISM IS ALIVE AND VERY WELL IN AMERICA. When Hank Aaron broke the record he was sent mass hate mail from ONLY WHITES. There is NOTHING a black person can achieve YOU WHITES THINKS is legitimate. YOU WILL NEVER CHANGE. Bonds won at least 6 Gold Gloves all before the this situation. He has had batting titles, on base percentages etc.. ALL BEFORE the scandal. WHITES DID NOT LIKE AARON AND THEY DID NOT LIKE MAYS ANDTHEY WILL NEVER LIKE A BLACK ATHELETE other than TIGER WOODS, and I know why.

Dream on skuzz bucket...
Blacks and Mexicans are the most racist people on the earth.
They even have their own racist groups today like the NAACP, LaRaza and a host of others.
They Have Black television and Mexican TV...
White people at least moved on and corrected old evils, yours are alive and kicking today.
And NOBODY likes a damn cheater...Even if he was green with yellow polka dots.
So step off man, you're straight outta line.

Mike Murphy, equipment manager of the San Francisco Giants, testified that since Bonds became a Giant in 1993, the size of his uniform jersey has gone from 42 to 52. His cap size has expanded from 7 1/8 to 7 1/4, even though while it was expanding he shaved his head. (Bonds reportedly shaved his head because his hair was falling out as a result of steroid use.) And Fainaru-Wada and Williams also say Murphy testified that Bonds's baseball shoe size has changed from 10½ to 13.
Steroids, human growth hormone (HGH) and other performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) can cause gradual enlargement of bones in the feet, hands, face, jaw and skull. Bonds has never failed a steroid test, but there is no reliable test for HGH, and chemists concocting PEDs also devise masking ingredients to defeat tests.

This is a disgrace to baseball, only if Griffey never got hurt, he was be able to save the league from all this steroid drama. Another thing that ******es me off about Bonds is it seems that every time he gets up hes going for a homerun or nothing. He doesn't try to be a team player, just going for the records. Also hes an arrogant SOB.
Guess were gonna have to wait for A-Rod or Pujols.
