Chasing records

Another "milestone" for baseball as Barry Bonds ties Hank Aaron’s home run tally of 755.  My status as a fan was impacted more by the strike in 1994 and subsequent cancellation of the World Series than by anything else (even WWII didn’t cancel the World Series).  I still love to go to a ballgame (even with $9 beers) and believe that the passion of baseball is best seen at the minor league level as this is where guys are still playing their hearts out.  I don’t have enough information to know if Bonds is a steroid junkie.  If it is all natural, I look forward to my own athletic peak in my early 40s.  Here’s an eye opening comparison of Bonds and McGwire over the years by looking at their baseball cards and has the catchy title of "Mac or Bonds: Who Roided It Up Better?"
