^Yes, all of these factors are why I said baseball is imperfect and subjective. I personally think it doesn't make much sense to keep records for baseball (other than for entertainment purpose) because of all the changing factors.

Barry might pass Aaron, but I'm sure someone else will pass Barry in the next 20 years.

Hey, Ryan - that is very, very cool that you were there.

That's it. Just wanted to say I think it's cool.

Thanks, it was cool! I went to two games when he was trying to hit 714, then I went to a game last week when he didn't play. So it was definitely fun to be there when something happened.

stand Barry Bonds for his lying on the stand about 'roids, 'Roids will not increase your hand/eye coordination & speed to make you react faster to a pitch in the area of 90-95 MPH.

I dont see MLB taking away his homeruns, Nor do I really see Barry passing Aaron's 755 either.

Take it from someone who played Baseball from age 9 to 19 (Played partial season in the local Minor League before wrist injury ended my career), Alot of players are hitting the juice thinking strength = increase your hand/eye coordination & speed...It doesnt!!!

The man DOES have sick hand-eye coordination. As does Gary Sheffield, another guy accused of jucing it up. I love me some Sheff though (from a Yankee fan point of view), so I dont bust on him.
