Barry Bonds?

Do you feel good about him breaking the record? I don't think he deserves the honor. It's a slap in the face for Hank Aaron in my opinion.

Update:

Being honorable doesn't mean much these days does it?

Update 2:

I think it is an honor to hold a record and to know that you did it without cheating. I know Bonds isn't the only one who has used steroids. And shame on everybody who has. It's very disappointing. I would feel ashamed to hold a record that I may not even deserve because of cheating. How could you feel good about that?

    We all know that he's going to break the record but it wont matter because we will always remember who the real home run hero is. Hank Aaron.

    First of all, it's a record, not an honor. I can't understand why anyone cares if Bonds took steroids. It's not like he was the only one taking them. There was no testing during this time. He is a great player regardless of what happened. Besides, when people think about homeruns, it is Babe Ruth's name that comes to mind first above all others.

    As of right now I could care less he is a jerk but they have no proof he cheated. I mean one of the biggest principles in this country is innocent until proven guilty so this should be the case in this circumstance. Also Arron should stop being a a*shole if Bonds haven't tested when he breaks it Arron should be there I mean Arron should be a good sport until Bonds if he ever tests positive same with Selig.

    I wouldn't have a problem with Barry bonds breaking Henry Aarons record if he just did it the right way. It's unfortuanate.

    Get over it. There is always an excuse when someone breaks a record. Poor Roger Maris still has the * next to his name.
