some people say that barry bonds cheated and everythign because when he was on steroids but that was a while back, and i think they should let him have the record, i mean a home run is a homerun.
No one mentions the pitchers possibly on steroids that Bonds hit the homers off of. I can think of one right now that was throwing harder at 35 than he was at 25 which is realistically impossible for a pro pitcher. 35 is "career over" for 95 percent of MLB players.
MLB knew what Sosa and McGwire were doing, but they didn't want to know how 'cause they were putting butts in seats. The only reason we talk about Bonds is because he broke the record.
And no, I'm not for legalizing steroids.

Just imagine if someone had given The Babe HGH and "the clear"...
The league approves of drugs by their lack of action. And your child now knows how to become a better player.
Bonds did it, & he'll hit more home runs to come- but though I'm sure his record will count it'll always seem a little tarnished to me. Interesting that Hank Aaron did it without steroids, & with class- sort of the other way around from how Bonds did it, huh?
And remember Babe Ruth & Micky Mantle- they did it without steroids and hung over!
Did you forget Rodger?
The IRS forced the sale by telling him he had to pay taxes on the estimated value of the ball if he kept it. When he was escorted to security they took his name and SSN. Unless he wants a big tax bill that he may not be able to pay he has to sell the ball. He can sell the ball and pay his taxes and be done with it.
The guy that made that IRS comment was proven totally wrong. The ball has only sentimental value until it's sold.
He better be sure. The IRS has been known not to take their own advise, let alone that of others.
*, No tax owed until you 'realize the gain' -in other words sell it.
A cheater is always a cheater.

If that ball becomes a source of interest, revenue or publicity for the owner the IRS might take an interest. Selling the ball before it looses it's value might be a good move.
Instead of an asterisk next to Bond's name in the record book, there should be a picture of a needle.
I wonder how much more Bonds charges for autographs, now. He's been one of the more expensive players and excludes kids when he can because he claims they are agents for adults. Bonds agent alluded to changing his autograph after the record so that the new autographs would be recognized as more valuable. His agent is the architect of the new and improved Bonds. Mr. Bonds is a fine example of better payers through better chemistry. His agent also wanted to raise ticket prices for games where he could tie or break the record and give Bonds a cut. I think that games that Bonds appears in should be rated PG-13. The younger fans should be allowed to think that baseball at the professional level is a game and that there are still several role models left.
Don't forget that Pete Rose changed his uniform 5 times in his record breaking game, to maximize their profitability.his profits.
I like Pete Rose - he earned his record.
