If Frank Thomas is "The Big Hurt", is Bonds "The Big Asterisk"?

Koala - enable your e-mail so we can discuss this issue. If not, for now, I will say that the Bonds haters wouldn't be so obnoxious if the Bonds lovers would just acknowledge the fact that this record isn't that big of deal! You have middle infeilders smacking 50-60 homers now. Baseball was fading a decade ago, so baseball compromised itself to bring much more offense into the game. The NBA and NFL have done the same thing. Idiots think that is because the players are so much better, but the fact is that marketing runs professional sports, and the fans are much stupider than they used to be. They would rather see something fancy than see something fundamentally great. Old fans would be argueing about putting on the hit & run, or squeezing, etc. Every fan was a manager on every pitch. Modern fans don't even know what that is! They just sit back drooling for a home run!
