Bonds hits 755th home run, ties Aaron's record

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Barry Bonds swung, took a half-dozen steps and clapped his hands. With no trace of a smile but a strong shot for all the doubters, he caught Hank Aaron and tied the career home run record Saturday night.

No. 755 was an opposite-field drive to left field, moving Bonds within one swing of having baseball's pinnacle of power all to himself.

I don't like the fact that he did it with 'roids but he is an amazing hitter. I heard Mark McGwire will probably miss the Hall of Fame when his entry is due. Think Barry Bonds will traverse the same seas?

McGwire was already denied for entry this year. He would have gotten in easily had he just been blunt with Congress.

thank god. can we stop talking about this now?

Nope...one more, then we can finally be over it.

You mean one more steroid slugger denied, syc?

No...one more HR, and we can finally forget about this crap.

I'm not sure that McGwire belongs in the Hall anyway. Yeah, he had 583 homers...to go with a .263 BA and 1626 hits. I'm not sure that's HOF quality.

I don't think Mac should be in either. Bonds is old and shouldn't even be playing anymore aside from hitting he offers nothing to the game, except a bad reputation as a teammate and person in general. I honestly wish wouldn't break the record - he doesn't deserve it. (Just my opinion)

So 756 was hit tonite. And Hank Aaron gave a tribute video speech on the scoreboard. Intriguing.

Halle-freakin-lujah.

There is an irony to this whole thing though. After all the crap they went through to get the HR hit in San Fransisco . . . The guy that caught the HR ball is from New York, is a Mets fan and was just passing through on his way to Duck Nuts.

Nah, Bonds will get his 3000th hit or 3000th walk, whichever comes first.

And most true baseball fans couldn't care less and recognize him for the abbheration he is. The guys a piece of shit all the way around! Aaron is still the leader.

I didn't think this jerk deserved his own thread so I'm putting this here. . .

Former Cardinals slugger Jack Clark apparently isn't enamored of the current hitting coach, especially in light of Mark McGwire's admission a few days ago that he had used steroids in 1998-99 when he played for the Cardinals and before that with Oakland.

Clark, who spoke whatever was on his mind when he played — he was a big factor in two National League pennants for the Cardinals in the 1980s — and occasionally when he hasn't been playing, said Thursday he was disgusted with the whole steroids issue and McGwire's now confirmed involvement in it.

"A lot of them should be banned from baseball, including Mark McGwire," Clark said.

"All those guys are cheaters —A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez). Fake, phony. Rafael Palmeiro. Fake, a phony.

"(Roger) Clemens, (Barry) Bonds. (Sammy) Sosa. Fakes. Phonies. They don't deserve to be in the Hall of Fame.

"They should all be in the Hall of Shame. They can afford to build it. They've all got so much money. And they could all go there and talk about the next way to rub something on your skin. The whole thing is creepy.

"They're all creeps. All these guys have been liars," Clark said.

Referring to some of the admitted steroids users' tearful apologies, Clark, who was the Los Angeles Dodgers' hitting coach several years ago, said, "They're not really a man's man. They're just whimpering boys who are just sad to watch.

"They try to put it off on somebody else. I don't know how they sleep at night, looking at all their fame, let alone the money they took by faking everybody out and lying to everybody. ...

"I don't know. I'd rather take my 340 home runs (11 seasons of more than 20) legitimately instead of taking that stuff to be phony."

Amen.

Nonsense, for the money those fuckers get, they should be offering their bodies up to science. Spend the whole off season in the lab with Dr Bunsen Burner and Beaker, doing weird science.:p
