I don't follow baseball at all, but the Barry Bonds issue has been shoved in my face on every sports channel I visit, so I have had no choice but to hear about it.
Today, Barry Bonds hit home run number 715 to pass Babe Ruth to become 2nd on the all-time home run list. But this has obviously been overshadowed by his steroid accusations.
The problem I have with this is that nothing has ever been proven to show that Barry Bonds actually used steroids. But everyone (even the MLB themselves) has written him off as detrimental to the game and societies cheater. I too was quick to label him as a user at first, but looking at the situtation, there isn't much proof... As far as passing Ruth goes, I congradulate him, but don't exactly want to see him pass Hank, seeing as he is a huge legend in baseball.
So my question to all of you is, do you honestly believe Barry Bonds is or has been a steroid user? Are you happy that he passed Ruth? Do you mind if he passed Hank Aaron?
