first off, disclaimer: not a huge baseball fan so i don't really know what i am talking about. this is just an outsider's opinion.
my problem with the issue, i think, is that bonds is still playing. i mean, if he's playing then in my view he's as eligible as anyone else to break records and receive whatever accolades correspond to doing so. that said, he probably shouldn't be playing, but then that's mlb's problem in my view and, until they fix it by implementing some sort of more consistent policy/testing procedure, etc., then they are just sort of indignantly blowing smoke about the purity of a game that, as far as i can tell hasn't been pure for some time (if it ever was). and in that case, i wanna know why everybody's got their whitey tighties in a bundle over him breaking this record.
