How should Commissioner Bud Selig handle Barry Bonds breaking the all-time home-run record?

Question

How should Commissioner Bud Selig handle Barry Bonds breaking the all-time home-run record?

Answer 1

The easy response is to blow up about him being a cheater and a disgrace, as some people have. I don't like Bonds, I don't want him to break the record. However, the facts are that he will break the record and he has yet to test positive. As long as that holds true, Selig has to acknowledge the accomplishment. In my opinion, I would rather see the respectable thing done now. If we find out he definitely took steroids, then strip the title, keep him out of the Hall and ban him from baseball all together. Until then, we have to treat it like the accomplishment it is.

Answer 2

Chris, in the hearts of most true baseball fans, myself included, Bonds may be passing Aaron in total home runs but he is not breaking any record in the true sense of the word. Bud Selig has fallen short on many issues in baseball since he became the owners puppet, so whether he shows up when Bonds passes Aaron is of no consequence.



This will not be a joyous day for baseball. There is nothing to celebrate. As a matter of fact, the silence will be deafening.

Answer 3

While a lot of people don't support Barry Bonds including me, MLB should accept the record as is, unless there is substantial evidence supporting all the alegations. If MLB doesn't recognize Barry's new record setting HR record, then MLB should also disregard any and all players records that are also involved in the Steroids invsetigation.

Answer 4

As the commissioner of baseball, Bud Selig needs to be there when Barry hits the record breaking home run. If he isn't, it could be seen as racist and a slap in the face to Bonds. He was there for McGwire when he broke the single season HR record and needs to be present for Bonds.



Also, I want to take Chris to task. The other day you said Bonds is the most hated player in baseball from last week's SI issue. However you failed to mention in the NL West Jeff Kent was hated more then Bonds (37% to 13%). As a Dodger fan, stop being biased against Bonds and protecting your boy Kent.

Answer 5

I say you have to celebrate it just like you did Cal Ripken, Jr. because until you actually have prove that Bonds did indeed knowingly use and abuse steroids, and not just what you can really assume he did logically, then you have to give the man credit for what he has achieved. The steroids do not do anything for your hand-eye coordination, your ability to put the barrell of the bat on the ball, or pull the inside pitch the way he does. As mush as I do not want to see him break the record, it is a milestone in baseball history. I would choose not to go to the game as a fan, but there are many fans who would very much like to be there and celebrate Mr. Bonds and his record-breaking homer.

Answer 6

Barry Bonds would have been the greatest home run hitter any way if they had not walked him. Check the stats and see for yourself how many walks he has received. Also I think Pete Rose should be inducted because of his play and not be denied because of gambling after his playing days. It is only fair, and he should be reinstated so he can be a part of the game. He has been punished enough. Enough is enough.

Answer 7

1.The steroids do not do anything for your hand-eye coordination



I have hear that isnt entirely true.



2. When is this perfect time in baseball everyone is trying to return to. We are currently in the steroid era. We have no way of knowing who is or isnt on roids. Hall-of-famer Mike Schmidt has openly said he was on speed during games. should he be taken out of the hall of fame...is that something people want??? Most importanly when babe ruth was hiting his home runs many players we not allowed to play because their race. WHO IS THE ******* CHEATER NOW?!



3. This will all not matter in a few years anyway. Arod or Albert will beat it soon enough. AROD at 31 has 484 and Ap is at 261 ans is 27



Mr selig need to be in attendance WHEN Barry Bonds breaks the record.

Answer 8

The balls went over the fence and the games go in the books at either a W or a L. They aren't taking away the wins and losses so why take away the record? They congratulated him and McGuire on breaking the single season record so this shouldn't be any different. Besides, who knows how many others on any list were possibly taking enhancing drugs and didn't get caught.

Answer 9

If he hasn't thought of what to do by now then nothing. What can you do? Clap or boo as a fan of the game like most will.



Bonds never tested positive, and the government nor the media has found nor dug up any proof of otherwise.

Answer 10

The same way they did Hank Aaron. Not show up or acknowledge what he has done. How great was that for the image of baseball? That's why Hank won't be there for Barry. Not because he hates Barry, but because he has never forgiven baseball for doing that to him.

P.S. Come back to ESPN! Your fans miss you.

Answer 11

I don't think that Barry Bonds cares about what Mr. Selig does or thinks or says regarding the career home run record. Although I have never met Barry or anyone who has, I can't help but feel that Barry doesn't care for the record or the game of baseball other than a way to elevate himself. If Bonds really cared about baseball or the fans he should stop using the "no one can prove it so I must be innocent" reasoning and just give us all a real answer. If Bonds came out and looked into a camera and explained exactly what he did or did not take and why I think I could respect him much more.

Answer 12

This is not really a hard question. I am not a fan of Bonds, but I am a fan of baseball. Until someone has proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that Bonds did something wrong, he will own the greatest record in baseball. That is something no one can take from him now. No asterisk by the record. Bonds will break this record in accordance to the rules set by baseball. Until the commissioner rules other wise. I do not think Selig has enough fortitude to do so and if he chooses not to than he must celebrate this athlete setting an astonishing record. With that Selig should be at the game where the record is broken and should acknowledge the accomplishment that Bonds has made.

Answer 13

Until Jason Giambi is stripped of his MVP title, the commissioner has no other possible option other than recognizing Bonds' accomplishment.



The hierarchy of the MLB ownership has turned a blind eye to the steroid problem for years, in a sense speaking loudly through silence. Do you think that the added hoopla from all of the home run chases (Sammy & Mark) hurt the bottom line? Is MLB lining up to return $ to the fans, because the famed home run chase was surely tainted by steroids? The clear cut answer is a resounding "no."



Therefore, you must stay consistent--MLB would be far more hypocritical than any "using" player if they were to reap the vast rewards from the peak of the steroid years and then ignore Bonds when he breaks the record.



Now, just because that line of reasoning is logical (at least to me), does not mean that MLB will follow it. However, if they do ignore Bonds or slight him in any way, there will surely be backlash from some fans. Then again, if they go overboard on the celebration, there will surely be backlash from others who feel Bonds is a cheat.



Tough dilemma for Selig. Perhaps he should have considered this pickle when he was devilishly smiling during the 70+ HR years. I guess it's time to pay the piper.



I find the analogy between a player on steroids and MLB on steroids to be quite fitting--there are great rewards to reap (HR's/$), but just like the human body reacts with injury and sickness, it seems as though MLB will have to endure some "injury" and "sickness" for a while--and if that means that the fans turn on them, then apparently that is the consequence of their actions.



All actions have consequences, don't they? Or is that just for the common folk of the world?



p.s. have always loved and respected your work

Answer 14

I think it should be celebrated just like any other record that is broken. Everybody wants to talk about steroids being the only reason that he is going to break the record. I'm sorry, but steroids don't make you hit the ball. The guy is just a natural talent! As for the steroid controversy, baseball and anyone else that follows baseball avidly knew that most of the players were on the steroids. Everyone chose to turn their heads the other way because all of those home runs that were being hit were saving the game and bringing fans back into those seats. What do you think would have happened after the last baseball strike if there wasn't a home run chase by Mcgwire and Sosa who were both Roid Monsters too? Let it go people and enjoy the guys's talent. You might not see another guy like this in your lifetime.

Answer 15

Like a true commissioner! His frienship and loyalty to Henry should not stop him from celebrating what Barry Bonds has and will accomplish. Selig himself should chase Barry all over the country until the record is broken. What is to be said for the ruler of baseball to be home in bed the night that the record falls.If cares anything for the sport or his own pathetic legacy he will everything in his power to embrace this chase of history.How often can someone say in their lifetime"I was there the night the greatest record in all of sports changed hands". The answer is easy only about 45,000 people will be able to.If Selig wants to help baseball become the game it once was he should do everything in his power to ensure that this will be a night worthy of rememberance in the eyes of the world then and only then will baseball be revived in all of america.PS Bud black players are wanting to get more black children envolved in baseball well here it is being dropped off on your doorstep.Who better than to have break the halloed record, a black man larger than life with the quickest bat and most feared reputation as hitter in the last 100 years.I am not a black but if I were who do you think I would want to like if I were wanting to play baseball? Barry Bonds or some black dude that comes in late in games toi pinch run for somebody. Here is your chance Bud not only for the game today but also to ensure it for the future of all our race, the human race! Long live baseball!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 16

I think he should handle it with dignity and class. The sport needs to show the public it can handle adversity. Barry Bonds is well documented for his association with balco, steroids and just being a jerk. Selig has had his ups and downs; canceling the world series,no doubleheaders, its lack of progress with minorities, the all star game/world series home field advantage, the DH I could go on forever.I think it be foolish to have a blow out celebration all things considered, but should acknowledge it and make the historic moment a classy one weather you like Bonds or Selig or not. If Bonds is still in the league legally, and not banned then he really has not other choice but to honor him. Bond, McGuire, Sosa, and others made a ton of cash for the owners and baseball. The Home run record is a monumental moment and if for some reason Bond is not banned out of the league he has to open up the baseball hall of fame and gracefully allow the new HR king in. As much as it might kill him.

Answer 17

I think that the best thing to do is not concentrate on the single number, 755.



The number 755 represents the number of home runs Hank Aaron hit while the rest of the world was hitting 10-12 home runs a year.



Bonds' eventual 756 is the # of home runs he hit when everyone was hitting 20.



Thus, if you look at in this light, what Hank Aaron did is still more relevant than ever.

For 22 years or so, Aaron hit 34 home runs or 285% of the average.

Bonds hit the same #, but is only at 172% of the average player.



Now, who should be celebrating whom?



I think if you approach it in this light, you won't feel so bad about Bonds breaking the record.

Statistically, someone is BOUND to break it. If it's just the # you are looking at, you aren't looking as deep as you should.



Bonds certainly has out homered people in this era, which was a great deal more frequent than in Aaron's era.





BTW, Ruth hit either 34 a year (if you include the pitching years) or 42. Which represents about a 600% of the average player.



Don't worry, be happy. As home runs continue to rise, Bonds won't hold the record that long.

Answer 18

The Commissioner should be there to recognize the accomplishment. Ford Frick was not there (and made not attempt to be) when Roger Maris hit 61 homeruns which doesn't help his leagacy, tarnished by an asterick. Bud Selig would show an abundance of humility in celebrating a career-long accomplishment on a night that could be a turning point (again) for baseball and shine a positive light on the game when one of the most sacred and storied records in baseball history is broken.



It's time move out of the darkness baseball has been under in recent years! Who didn't get goose bumps when they heard Derek Jeter had passed Joe DIMAGGIO for on the all-time hit list as a Yankee. Baseball, unlike any other sport in the United States, has certain names like Ripken, Gehrig, Mantle and Ryan that can bring a smile to an old man's face and send goosebumps down spines. This respect should be shown from a commissioner who has been around great names and moments in baseball history, to the new all-time home run leader.

Answer 19

Yeah he cheated. Guess what? I would bet everything I have that there are tons of record holders in baseball that took steroids. Roger Clemens comes to mind. No one ever thinks maybe he is coming back in the middle of may because he is cycling off steroids right? Or ever mention the fact that Jason Grimsley named him when he was questioned by the FBI. How about Pudge Rodriguez? He was named by Canseco and has loss a considerable amount of weight (and ability) since the testing began. Tejada has been named before but he gets a free pass.



Just because you don't like someone doesn't mean you can only target them. Pudge might go down as the best catcher of all time and there is reason to believe he was a juicer. Clemens might be the best right hander ever and the same goes for him.



Bonds should get what McGwire got when he hit 70. Bud Selig is the last guy who should be on his high horse. The reason steroids are a huge issue is because he waited forever to get a program going.

Answer 20

Personally I think he shouldnt put the *on the record , because this is the steroid era, so every champion should have a * on it side???? No, so i think selig have to be there in the park whe bonds hits that 756 homer and stop the game for a ceremony. Remember, steroids gives you strenght to hit homers, but you need to hit the ball first.



Also when Ruth was playing he was an alcoholic, and nobody says that.



So, Selig needs to handle this Bonds thing as it would be another player that never has taken steroids.

Answer 21

Major League Baseball did not address the steroid issue until Congress stepped in. Barry has not been charged with any crime. Most of Barry's home runs were hit long before steroids or HGH were an issue. Mr. Selig appears unable to handle most situations very well and I'm sure he will bungle this one and already has. What he should do is acknowledge the pursuit of Hank Aaron's' record, attend all games in which Barry is playing, and hype it up for MLB. Isn't that what the Commissioner of baseball is suppose to do??

Answer 22

Commissioner Seleg should be in attendance and should treat the occasion with the prompt and circumstance it deserves. Since there was no steroid testing before 2005, how can we be sure about anybody when it comes to steroids or any other performance enhancing compound. Until definitive proof is shown that Bonds was juicing he should be given the benefit of the doubt regardless to how boorish he may be. Besides, the owners are not exactly blameless here. To think this abuse was going on, much of it in the locker room, and the owners knew nothing of it is preposterous. The reason steroids is a big deal now is because of the fans and their disgust about it. Where were the owners when steroids were running rampant? Why weren't they making a big deal of it? Oh, that's right. They were making money hand over fist thanks, in part, to those that juiced.

Answer 23

He was the commissioner of a league that didn't ban & didn't test for performance falsifying drugs that are ILLEGAL under US LAW!!! As terrible as it is that this cheat is going to get his name in the books (asterisk or no asterisk), both Selig & Fehr should be REQUIRED to be there because they share responsibility for this travesty...



Actually, a way that might fix this problem: Major League Baseball should acknowledge the old African-American Baseball league records as legitimate ML records since those players would have all been in the other pro leagues at the time if it wasn't for the racism of the time. Even though records kept might not be the best, it might possibly put Josh Gibson as the real home run champ at close to 800.

Answer 24

All it's been is speculation, say what you will about Barry bonds, in his prime he was one of the best ever. Until there is some proff of wrongdoing, the commissioner should do his job and support Barry, stop being wishy washy. I've always said, "if Bud Selig were alive, he might be a decent commish".

Answer 25

the truth is most of us learned about home run records from our dad/grandad and no matter how it's handled with an asterik or not the fact remains that we will continue to pass on the story of bonds and the steriod use to future generations. I do not believe that Selig should go and commerate it since Aaron will not be attending. Even when Barry takes over the spot it will ALWAYS! be tainted because father's or mother's with continue to tell the story for generations about Barry Bonds and how he used steroids and how Hank Aaron is the rightful name that belongs at the top of the list. It will be a-pay no mind to the name at the top of the list. It's really Aaron that holds the record.

Answer 26

By pulling a no-show.

Bonds is a liar and a cheat, and obviously has no ethics regarding playing baseball and what he puts, injects, or rubs onto his body, when he's not busy blaming a teammate for it. He is a constant reminder of the worst that ballplayers can be, and Selig would be wisest to not acknowledge the "accomplishment". Hank Aaron got no visit from Bowie Kuhn, and he was much more of a man than Bonds, so there you go. Bonds thrives on all his undeserved attention, so Selig should just ignore him. Seriously. Just have some spokesman release a one or two sentence blurb, and be done with it.

BTW, what's with the "OFFICIAL" tag under your name? Are you somehow better than everyone else or something like that? Whatever, man. . . .

Answer 27

Selig should attend when Bonds breaks the record.

It is true that many will consider the record tainted, but nothing has been proven regarding Bond's use of any performance enhancing 'stuff'.

Baseball should recognize the feat, and then hope that somebody comes along in the next few years and takes away the crown, even if that player happens to be A-Rod.

Answer 28

Selig should actually take some responsablity, for the Steroid Era in baseball. He & all of the owners, as well as the union let it get way out of hand. Most players were doing it, the stats were popping the box scores, and the fans were paying to see it. Its not the players fault at ALL.



As a side note - back in the day - Babe, Mantle, Joe D and company poped pills, Speed to get up for the game, to get an edge. As well as pitchers scuffing balls, spitting on balls, vassoline on balls, etc. So it seems players Always try to get an edge to win. Bonds is Awsome, and this is comming from a huge met fan. I blame the managment. And Selig should be there.

Answer 29

No... it is humiliation piled on top of more humiliation. What a tool this guy is. He is arguably one of the worst commisioners in professional sports (the average fan with some common sense would make a better commisioner). I think he's just attending to pretend that everything is fine... he is certainly not enjoying the games (look at his expressions during the games). For his sake I hope the record is not broken anytime soon so that Selig would travel all over the country and get the reception he deserves from the real classy fans.

Answer 30

How did Bonds cheat when steroids weren't banned?Has anybody proven he used steroids?His testimony which was illegaly leaked said he used a clear like substance on his knee.That has nothing to to do with eye- hand corridination.Show how it was cheating first.I remeber Gaylord Perry being caught cheating.They put him in the Hall of Fame.None of his cheating records were erased.Bud is a representive of Baseball he may feel differntly personaly towards Bonds.It is his job to represent MLBB just tell him to do his damm job.Part of the reason the steroid controversy is here is because he did not show enough leadership when steroids were all around MLBB.Even though everyone else knew it Selig and other owners turned a blind eye towards it because they were rakeing in money

Answer 31

without concrete proof of anything, he shouldn't handle anyone. I am a big fan of cleaning up the sport and I certainly think the Bonds has taken steroids willingly, but he doesn't work for me so I can accuse him for what ever I want with hear say. I Commissioner has different rules. I think if he doesn't want to be there, he has the right to do so. I think this will be a lose, lose situation for him. If he doesn't go the Bond supporters will rip him and if he goes the non-Bond supporters will rip him. I think if he will be wrong either way, I think he should do what he really wants to do. That way he can live with his choice by not selling out one way or another.

Answer 32

Barry Bonds was on Steroids and a lot of people would agree. He was featured in a lot of magazines along with Jason Giambi. Bud Selig should cut down the amount of Home Runs Barry got.

Answer 33

Without a doubt Selig should be present at that game when Bonds breaks the record! Baseball needs to come together and bury this disaster and Selig can speak volumes by being present and perhaps making a presentation when it happens!

Answer 34

He should be there if possible and congratulate him politely if nothing else. Then Selig should go back to doing whatever it is he does and hope that A-Rod breaks Bonds' record ASAP.



Aaron is the HR champ in most people's minds, and will remain so. The steroids thing wouldn't even be a subject of discussion if Bonds weren't such a public relations disaster. He's a jerk. Selig shouldn't be in a contest to see who can out-jerk the other.

Answer 35

dont hate the player hate the game, steroids (greenies) where around before Barry and they (HGH, ETC) will be around after he is long retired ?? give the man his just rewards !!! stand up raise your arms and put your hands together because you have just witnessed a historic event that will be talked about by your grandchildren , grandchildrens

Baseball is a finiky sport, if they like the player (IE McGwire, Sosa) breaking the seasonal home run record in 1998 then they embrace the stars, but if they do not care for the stars (IE Bonds, Roger Maris and even Aaron back in 1974) then the fans, and media treat them like second class citizens.



i say embrace it, for the simple fact, YOU CAN

because you wont get another chance to in your life time.





P.S. unless A-rod or "Big Al " Puljos challenge the record 10 to 15 years from now, but thats another question isnt it .



P.P.S. and this goes for Hank and Bud equally.

Answer 36

In my opinion Bud has no choice in this but to honor and recognize the accomplishments of Bonds. Eventhough the court of public opinion has handed down their sentence, the justice departmenmt has not (yet). So until either he apologizes, gets hurt, or indicted between now and 756, Mr. Selig must be present to regognize the record and congratulate Barry wether Bud likes it or not. As a record no asterisk as of right now, We can treat it however we want .

Answer 37

If he breaks the record it should be handled just like any other record in baseball. There was a ton of speculation of steroids AT THE TIME when Mcgwire and Sosa had their chase for the Home Run Record and ther commish didnt shun them. Bonds wasnt shunned when he broke their record just after that. It hasnt been proven that Bonds has broken any rules or cheated to gain this record and it never will be. Even if you beleive he took steroids he was within the rules to do so. Yes it is illegal to take steroids without a prescription but MLB doesnt have the authority to procecute him for that infraction. MLB rules allowed performance enhancing drugs and even silently approved of their use by not instituting or including them in their banned substance lists earlier. If the commish was willing to make an exception for McGwire then he needs to make an exception for Bonds. The real controversy the fact that people find Bonds insufferable and think he should be punished for being so. This is the same social injustice that has caused great players like Jim Rice to be left out of the Hall of Fame when lesser or comparable players have been in for years.

Answer 38

I have heard reports that the comiss is not going to attend the game in which Barry Bonds breaks the record.Bad form on his part,regardless if you are a Bonds fan or not it still is a tremendous feat,lets put the allegations aside, as Barry has never been found guilty of steroid abuse.Bud Selig should attend the game as it is his duty and responsibility to the game of baseball!

Answer 39

I think Bud Selig should name the day Barry Bonds breaks the record "Hank Aaron Day" in major league baseball. Every year on that day all players wear Hank Aarons number on their cap or sleeve in commemmoration of the "true" natural home run champion. Hank if you are out there ,here's props to you from a white fan! Yes we are not all racists!!!

Answer 40

Bud Selig should approach this as if it were any other athlete approaching this record. I personally believe that Bud has a bigger problem with Barry's attitude, not as much the steroid talk.



If you look at other athletes in baseball and other sports, there has not been any talk about placing asterisks next to their stats when steroids were mentioned. They never mention anything about Ken Caminiti and his steroid use, or placing a mark by his name. I know he did not have the same stats as Barry, but steroids are still steroids.



Also take Lyle Alzado, who if I a remember correctly had admitted to using steroids in his playing days. We don't see football talking about their former players who have admitted steroid use. So why is this any different?



But let's not forget that Barry has NOT tested positive for anything! There may be other indicators, but he has not had a positive test. So, in my book, he is innocent until PROVEN guilty.

Answer 41

Being the Commissioner, I think it's an obligation to be at the ballpark, whether he thinks Bonds took steroids or not. This is a business and, he should act in a business-like manner. Selig is not bigger than the game!

Answer 42

If he doesn't show than he will be showing all that is wrong with this steroid thing. it happened and the league did nothing about it. no one is taking responsibility, Selig acts like he disagrees with the record being broken, but he did not have a problem with it until the numbers added up to a all-time career record. he enjoyed the year by year records.

Answer 43

Bud Selig can place an asterisk next to his name or say Bonds has the All-Time record for the "Modern ERA", but I believe he should let it go and congrat Barry on his feat.

Answer 44

With class. He is the preemminent representative of Major league baseball. Until Bonds is proven guilty all Selig is doing is showing his personal distaste with his stance. This is a great moment for all of baseball. I personally do not like Bonds, but this is a once in a lifetime moment for my favorite game. Selig needs to treat it that way,

Answer 45

I have to be honest. I believe Barry Bonds has been taking steroids for years. Look at his weird rate of growth in his body. His head is oversized. When they have a bobble head giveaway for him someday, it will be an exact replica. Having said that, if Selig has ANY brass ones he will not attend the milestone or have any official celebration. What is that saying? If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, and looks like a duck it must be a duck.

Answer 46

He should be able to have the record. First there has to be proof beyond a shadow of a doubt that he used steroids and so far if he was in a court of law he would be found innocent. Second, if he did use steroids at the time they were not illegal in baseball or the US so it cannot be cheating if he did not break any laws, plus unless we also find the hundreds of other players who used them and villify all of them I wish we just leave Bonds alone

Answer 47

He should not do anything to inhibit Barry from breaking the record. Many players back in the day were probably corking their bats, and some of them made it to the Hall of Fame. Barry should no doubt be enabled to break the all time home run record. He's gotten many people more interested in baseball and rooting for him to get one more homerun each game.

Answer 48

He should be a little happy because this is Barry Bonds he is a great player but lots of his home-runs were when he had steroid use. He could have a party because this record has belonged to Hank Aarons for a very long time.

Answer 49

I think he shouldn't handle it. I think every manager and pitcher in baseball should take an ethical and moral stand (even if it is the pot calling the kettle black) and either intentionally walk or plunk Bonds on the *** every at bat until Bonds finally hangs it up.



Either that, or throw him softballs until he breaks the record, so even if the steroid cloud never gets resolved, everyone will know Bonds didn't truly earn the record one way or another.

Answer 50

Selig should sack up, be a man, and give him the credit he deserves. Barry Bonds has NEVER broken a single MLB rule regarding drugs that would warrant any kind of asterisks next to his eventual record. Hate him all you want (I certainly do!) but to deny him the recognition he deserves is sour f-in grapes people! HE NEVER CHEATED!!!!!



he could come out tomorrow and fully admit to taking steroids the year he hit 73 and it wouldn't change a GD thing. HE NEVER CHEATED!!!!!

Answer 51

Well to start off Barry Bonds, I can't even describe him definetely my least favorite player ever! Anyway here is what Selig should do: look at a picture of Barry in 1990 and look at his picture now then he will know what to do: see ya Mr. Bonds! He should be stripped of everything! All he is is a big Cheater and Giambi too both of them shouldn't be able to play baseball ever again!

Answer 52

Its unknown how many other player have taken drug enhansment to make there careers better, and for how long, but it has gone on for many more years than Barry Bonds. Plus Barry Bonds is proven to be not the only person ever to take something in the last 10 years for big name sluggers.

If they do something to Barry Bonds to shame him on the historic day or even keep him OUT of the hall of Fame, then people like Mark McGuire,Palmaro and lots of others in the past decade before should also be thrown out of the hall or not let in. But Barry Bonds is just like any other babseball hero ove their careers, they take the Sodas and the health bars and health drinks to promote and to also make millions of extra dolars on the side, Well Barry Bonds got caught up in something that was told was not illegal buy someone else in a profession that was supposed to be an expet, No one said anything about it until The White Mark Mcguires home Run record was broken. Its very simple for this White person as myself, to see there is a lot more behind the complaints on barry bonds, other than any drug enforced drinks to make him more powerful

If this is such a terrible thing then why are these players not behind bars. Barry congrats from one American Past time watcher to a Pro Player, who did not ever just get the ball over the fence, most all your Homers were well into the Bleachers or beyond.

When you hit them out of the stadiums, its not that you are drugged up, maybe the commissioner should check to see how much smaller each of the newer stadiums is being buildt, and why there are so many short porches by the bay or the beer in Milwaukee. Is the game not being tarnished buy the commishoner and the large companys making the baseball stadiums try to look like a wounderland? Its a turn off kmore than a turn on to g to a game now, and at the price to park your car in the parking lots and the tickets and the Beer or hot dogs and drinks, a family of 4 cant see a game anymore for less than $150.00, the average joe Job Worker and his family wont be coming to the games much longer becuase of good old Exxon-Mobil That can run another $50.00 or more to travel to the games, and last time i saw my pay check it was something we had to save up and plan for months, Not a family outing to just go pick a game and see one. Good thing we have TV and our local Pofessional tripple AAA club in the city i live in for $5 a ticket we can go sit anywhere from the 3rd row behind homeplate back. And the food is only $2.00 at most for a hot dog.

its more fun with the in between innings fun that happens on the field and in the stands also.



barry bonds deserves just as much Fireworks and applause as anyone ever has in the past.

It will ony last about 5-8 years as there are about 10 more guys in the majors now that have over 500 homers or will by the end of this season. In the history of baseball before this bunch came up, How many hit 500 or more homers? and what kind of junk is being put into these baseballs of the major league? The big home run hitters are getting a lot of freebies do to the baseballs not the so called drugs .

Answer 53

Unil there is actual proof that Bonds took illegal drugs and it helped him to set a homerun record the Commissioner must treat it as the new home run record. He should show up and treat Mr. Bonds as the new home Run king.

Answer 54

Mr. Selig should be right there in the stands and give the guy the support for such a feat. While mired in allegations and no concrete proof of a failed test. Give the man credit for breaking the record and be done with it.

Answer 55

Selig should treat this record being broken like any other. Bonds hasn't been proven guilty of steroid use yet, and until he is, should be given full respect of the commissioner.

Answer 56

Chris Myers, you BLOW!!!! Some people really need to get off his back..... All the allegations are just that... Nothing real.... Do you honestly think that cream made him hit more homeruns then he normally would have hit.. What about all the walks, HBP's, and intentional walks???? If or until he admits anything else then maybe you should just shut you PIE HOLE!! At least admit that he's one of the games most fearsome hitters no matter what his weight is.... I'm a Dodger fan and I still respect his hitting.. How bout the allegations that Chris Myers blows goats???? Yeah, I have proof... Now defend yourself scum... Or keep on being a leach trying to gain fame by raising questions about some one elses fame.....

Answer 57

1. No MLB celebration.



2. No gear in the HOF



3. Selig and Aaron should stay away like they have said.



4. Put and * next to it, in the record books stating his alleged involvement in the Balco steroids case.



5. Honor Aaron again for all his achievements by retiring his number throughout baseball.

Answer 58

As of right now there isn't anything he can do about it. There isn't any "scientific proof" that he is or has cheated. I wish there was cause if you looked at Barry maybe 5-10 years ago his head and his arms was nowhere close to what they are at now. His head is HUGE come on it's the 'roids. I hope they find him guilty before he breaks the record that way it stay a true record. The integrity of the game could be at stake here.

Answer 59

After Bonds rounds the bases and steps on home plate for HR #756, Selig should hand him a cup to pee in, then wait for him to fill it up, get it tested, and when the test comes back showing that Bonds is the LIAR and CHEAT we all know he is, Selig should ban him for life and erase all record of his existence in MLB.

Answer 60

What do you mean "handle"??? He should throw a party for Barry Bonds. Come on now, everybody, think about it...He is breaking the most coveted record in not only baseball, but perhaps in all sports. I don't care what any of you idiots say, steroids don't make your timing and your ability to put the bat on the ball any better... He has been a role model for lots and lots of youngsters in his career.

Answer 61

HOPEFULLY something will come out before then with the Giambi interviews. I just think it's crazy we know, even though we "don't know", what's going on but are sweeping it under the rug. Being a life-long Pete Rose fan, it makes me sick to know he's not getting in the Hall, but this juicers from the last decade will. Another sad thing is, if Griffey stays health and doesn't miss basically 3 - 4 seasons, we're not even talking about Bonds right now. Griffey's about to hit 600 THE RIGHT WAY.

Answer 62

Since he was the commissioner during most of bonds era he needs to suck it up and have a celebrations that goes along with the great record that is being broken.



[e-mail]

Answer 63

Give him an award, a brief speech , and get it over with as quickly as possible .(While silently hoping Albert Pujols stays healthy) As there's no proof positive of any wrongdoing by Bonds, it has to be acknowledged. Do anything more than a perfunctory ceremony though, and Selig , and baseball will look like fools and phonies.

Answer 64

Barry Bonds supposedly broke a rule that didn't exist for about 99% of his career.



While I am completely convinced he is guilty of using steriods, HGH, GHB, Viagra and quite possibly hiding Sadam's WMD without any evidence it would be petty and more embarrassing for the Commisioner to not attend the games leading up to the record.



Go to the game, ride out the storm, and wait for A-Rod or someone else without the bagagge to come along and rebreak the record.

Answer 65

Until he's a proven cheater, Selig should be in attendance and celebrate the record. Here's hoping Bonds fall short...

Answer 66

I think he should be there when he breaks it and honor it as a record. There is no real proof that he has done anything against the rules of baseball. If it's proven down the road that this is a pharmaceutically enhanced record then they can remove it from the books. Since there is no proof it makes Major League Baseball look stupid if they don't honor the breaking of the most storied record in American sports.

Answer 67

i think the fact that selig prob knew of his and all baseball players use of steroids. So he should attend all records that will be broken by any player during the steroid era. He created a monster with steroids and is responsible for all of the fall out.

Answer 68

Bud Selig is just as big an embarrasment to the game as Bonds. Whatever he does, he'll blow it and wind up looking foolish.

Answer 69

this isn't really an answer, but do you really think bonds could give a s**t if that wrinkely old bastard showed up? especially if it happens in SF with thousands of flash bulbs and fans going nuts.



at this point, after all the hell he's lived through (heckling reporters and fans), i doubt he'd care one way or the other if one of 50,000+ in attendance is Bud Selig.



and for the record, bonds is a piece of garbage. selig too.

Answer 70

Personally I think Selig needs to stop being a bias asshole and do his job. This is still America where we are supposedly innocent until proven guilty. Personally I don't think Bonds took steroids, and whether he did or not it takes a lot more than steriods to put that ball over the fence. Selig needs to honor the record no matter what his personal feelings about Bonds is.

Answer 71

In my opinion, I think that they should give him his claim to fame moment. He is going to break the record on or off the juice. MLB needs to be classy and do what is right. Give him a moment like they gave Cal Ripken or Ricky Henderson. Barry is the one that will live with a monkey on his back the rest of his life if he cheated.

Answer 72

The Commissioner should show up, smile for the pictures, & shake Bonds' hand as they are the face of baseball. It will not serve baseball to just avoid the event.



However, Bonds should be investegated much the same way as Pete Rose was. As with all past & current baseball players that are alleged to have used roids. If they are found guilty or flat out refuse to corperate with the investagtion they should be placed on baseball's ineligiblie list.



As Giambi has basically admitted to using & Canseco did in his book, they should be first on the roids list of ineligiblity along with any other player is found guilty or fails to corperate 100% in any investagation.

Answer 73

He should do absolutely nothing. It should be as if it never happened. Next to Bonds' name in the record book it can say "Homerun king Barry Bonds twice the man(body and head size) he was as a rookie but he never took steroids" Believe that statement and I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you

Answer 74

Although I like Kego's suggestion; at the VERY least, he (Selig) needs to show up & take a few photos & hand him a plaque.

While Game of Shadows is all the "proof" some of us need (if you haven't read it, and really care about this issue...you need to); the simple fact is MLB never caught him cheating. Therefore they (MLB) have to acknowledge it.

If Henry Aaron doesn't want to be there, fine. He earned that right. But, Selig can't let his friendship with Hank keep him from his duties as commissioner. Even though he may not want to.

Answer 75

Be there and celebrate because if nothing was ever done to Bonds for his use of steroids .That tells me ,that this record will be broke again very quickly.So it will be no big deal later down the line.Possibly 5 years later.

Answer 76

By declaring Bonds ineligible due to his admission regarding the clear and the cream. I dont care if it takes coordination to hit the ball and steroids dont affect that, it still takes POWER to drive the ball that deep, and how many of those monster hits would have stopped at the warning track otherwise? Since we cant tell how many 4 baggers were affected, I say since we have his admission of using clear and cream ("innocent", my left fielder!) it can be suggested he used those substances for years. wipe out 7 or 8 years of home runs.



In addition, Henry Aaron spent his life doing nothing but hitting. Nevr hit more than what 25 home runs a year? But he did it for how MANY years is what needs to be addressed. In all hoinesty, the career mark for home runs PER SEASON would show the better power hitter. Bonds is only close because of the year he hit over 71 home runs. It can be supposed that he was juiced, since he ADMITTED IN THE FACE OF DETAILED PROOF THAT HE HAD THE CREAM AND THE CLEAR!!!!



HE ADMITTED USING STEROIDS!!!!!!!



Take that year out and he's not even in the same ZIP code as Aaron. Bonds deserves nothing but shame and banishment, and I am glad to say his father isnt around to suffer Barry's shameful behavior.

Answer 77

With respect and also restraint.



Let's withhold the disrespect and shunning for those that actually fail drug tests.



By the way, a few years ago, I was discussing with a friend the difference in Bonds' physique in his late 30's to what it was in his early 20's. My friend mentioned what he called "continental drift" and pointed out that none of us are built like we were 17 years ago. To which I responded, "If my biceps were as big now as my waist was at age 22, I'd be happy too!"

Answer 78

The bottom line is that Barry Bonds has never tested positive for steroids. Love him or hate him, he will brake the record and MLB needs to embrace him as the homerun king. (as much as it bothers me)

Answer 79

They shouldn't let Barry be in the hall of fame or hold the record because it is obvious he is using steroids and Hank Aaron didn't

Answer 80

Just like any other records in baseball. It's no big deal since everyone uses steriods in baseball anyway. Don't be naive and believe only Barry uses it. So it's no big deal, everyone is on it anyway, Barry is just better than most.

Answer 81

He has to do what is right for the game of baseball and that at least be present and acknowledge it. Even if there is suspicion. It is just that, SUSPICION. I myself believe Barry took something, but until you have PROOF, you ARE innocent. Barry brings a lot of this on himself, but there still IS NO PROOF to find him guilty. So until there is you have to acknowledge this magnificent feat

Answer 82

He should ignore Bonds along with the other 1500 or so players that used steroids. In fact he should ignore all cheaters like cheaters that took red juice and greenies. Like cheaters that corked their bats and loaded and scuffed the ball. Like cheaters that steal signs. Finally, he should ignore himself. Hypocrite. It doesn't matter that someone in particular is breaking the home run record. Oh my God, it's sooo hallowed! It's sooo sacred. Sacred to a bunch of cheaters! Players, owners and the commissioner. That should just about cover everyone.

Answer 83

With dignity. It is a milestone record and this old used car salesman has no class. The man did not violate any rules as there were no rules agains performance enhancing drugs back then.

Bud's silly decision to place the winner of the All Star game to the home field of the world series is an example of his complete lack of reality.

Go on the road with BB and honor the man for a new record.

Answer 84

He should not let him go into the hall of fame. This is sorta like the mark McGuire braking the home run. I was watching the game and it was such a good feeling at the time and soon as i found out he was on steroids it just blew the feeling.

but there if no feeling to blow we know he is on steroids and they should run more tests.

Answer 85

as much as i hate to see him break the record, hes going to break it.... without physical proof that hes been taking steroids theres no way he can stop it or take it out of the records. which is really a shame. but the thing with steroids, they may help you hit the ball further, but they wont help you actually make contact so im on the fence if he deserves it or not.

Answer 86

First thing is he should hire a very good speech writer.Show up for the game.Read a short statement about the history of baseball and how much it means to people ,congratulate Barry and Henry and BE DONE WITH IT !!!

Answer 87

Bonds went up to the plate & hit the ball for a home run & I don't care what he stuffed his body with It is still a home run.



Selig's love for the game is going to end up killing the game.

Or a that the least killing interest in it.

Answer 88

If it's his choice not to be there so be it,but I really think he is not doing the right thing here,weather Bonds cheated or not,I think that since this is a history making event,and Mr.Selig does represent all of baseball,he should be there!

Answer 89

If he was on "roids" when he hit the majority of his jacks then Selig should disallow him breaking the record.

Answer 90

I yous to b a Barry Bonds fan until i figured out he's been using steroids. So he DOESN'T DESERVE the hr record. They should wait until some one that is for REAL EARNS it!!!

Answer 91

I think he sould at least BE there when he breaks it. When Balco Bonds is a couple homers away, he should start to attend the Giants games. When he breaks it, Bud should simply congradulate him (not necessarily in public) and go on with his job and life.

end of story

Answer 92

Barry Bonds never tested positve so until then we can't erase his stats so we must have a huge celebration, because if we don't the next time someone breaks the record it wouldn't be right to throw a huge party.

Answer 93

Show up and congratulate him. It's his duty being the commissioner. But Hank shouldn't even be there when it happens. As for Bonds, he'll suffer the same fate as McGwire. No HOF.

Answer 94

he should show up and say nice job and get a few pictures taken if he can fit in the pic with bonds huge head and even bigger ego. then when they are next to each other shaking hands in the pic, selig should reach over and inject a "VITAMIN B' shot right in his ***.

Answer 95

I think hes gotta be there. Steroids or no steroids 755 is still the biggest record in the history of sports so if someone in your league is approaching it you have to be there. Him being there doesnt mean that he agrees with it, but I think you have to acknowledge it happening.

Answer 96

just like if any other player breaks the record. regardless if bonds is on roids or not, it is still remarkable. keep in mind there are many, many players on the juice that don't have close to his production. regardless of how good the roids are, they don't improve his eye hand coordination nor his hitting intelligence.

Answer 97

How can he do anything but be there when it happens? Until Bonds is proven guilty, you have to assume that he's clean. Everybody may say that he isn't, which is highly possible, however it hasn't been proven to the point that would warrant any action.

Answer 98

Go to it, smile and wave for the cameras, take a few pictures with Bonds and just remember that in a few years A-rod will break Bonds record and it won't be an issue anymore.

Answer 99

There sould be no recognition for Bonds due to his lying and drug abuse. A sports person earns his/her recognition as being a true sport free of drugs or any artificial help. A true sports person plays with heart and love for the sport which really earns him/her the recognition meerited. Cheating is a no no.

Answer 100

He should just get all of the publicity that he can. he should be at every game that Bonds is at, he should advertise, put it on international television. baseball needs a hero. why not Bonds?

Plus, his use of steriods has never been proven. What ever happened to Innocent until proven guilty?

Answer 101

By treating as diplomatically as possible. If he celebrates his accomplishment he is going to alienate thousands of fans and lose their respect and patronage. If he doesn't he alienates Barry Bonds and who really cares?

Answer 102

Shread the baseball to a million pieces and spread the ash over congress druing the next steroid hearing.

Answer 103

Treat it like any other record with a celebration. he made this bed of disaster by ignoring the steroid issues in baseball now he can sleep in it. to bad it didn't happen in mil.

Answer 104

suspend him for the rest of the year without pay until a complete investigation is held. Afterwards, if he is allowed to return and break the record, put an * next to his name for being one of the founding fathers for ruining baseball.

Answer 105

Sad but your gonna have to put that * by his record.

Yeah you need hand-eye blah blah blah. But the steriods have made him last longer in baseball. Helped his muscle heal faster stay stronger. Also helped drive an easy pop out a little further to make it a home run. There are plenty of guys out there that can hit but just don't have that little extra power to push that ball over.



So yeah he did it, but he had more of an advantage than anyone.

Answer 106

As a side note - back in the day - Babe, Mantle, Joe D and company poped pills, Speed to get up for the game, to get an edge. As well as pitchers scuffing balls, spitting on balls, vassoline on balls, etc. So it seems players Always try to get an edge to win. Bonds is Awsome, and this is comming from a huge met fan. I blame the managment. And Selig should be there.

Answer 107

This is the single most important record in sports and for him to stay at home is a disservice to Barry and all of Baseball.

Answer 108

I would choose not to go to the game as a fan, but there are many fans who would very much like to be there and celebrate Mr. Bonds and his record-breaking homer.

Answer 109

They congratulated him and McGuire on breaking the single season record so this shouldn't be any different. Besides, who knows how many others on any list were possibly taking enhancing drugs and didn't get caught.

Answer 110

Baseball should recognize the feat, and then hope that somebody comes along in the next few years and takes away the crown, even if that player happens to be A-Rod.

Answer 111

when he beats the record, he breaks the record.....he will now hold a record in MLB. Just like everybody has had to do over the years.

Answer 112

As much as I hate the idea he should handle it as he should . Do the dog and pony show. Until they can prove or till it is prove you treat it with the most respect. once they prove he cheated then you put Astrix's to let it be know he broke the record while on drugs.

Answer 113

I do not want to see him break the record, it is a milestone in baseball history. I would choose not to go to the game as a fan, but there are many fans who would very much like to be there and celebrate Mr. Bonds and his record-breaking homer.

Answer 114

He should conduct a televised Lie Detector test and ask Bonds in front of a world wide audience, "Did You use steroids?"

Answer 115

He should do what Hank Aaron is doing, just keep quiet about it. He should not do anything until history decides what to do. That should take about 10-20 years after the fact.

Answer 116

the commissioner should be there as mlb's represenitive because regardless of who breaks this record it's probaly the most respected record in all sports period

Answer 117

Selig should resign and let Pete Rose be the commish.

Answer 118

With great professionalism and respect toward Bonds and

Aaron as well. If facts change during his tenure; he can change his stances as well. He is ,most importantly, representing MLB in my opinion.

Answer 119

By doing nothing. Bonds says he only cares about himself and not the Hall.

Answer 120

he should be at the game and be happy for him. i mean barry bonds is innocent until proven guilty/ admitting to taking steroids, and right now he is still innocent.

Answer 121

I think he should be treated as Pete Rose was. I think Rose should be in the Hall of Fame but since he isn't then Bonds shouldn't be either

Answer 122

He should be benched and not allowed to play, he's been on steroids and everyone knows it, he should be exempt from everything even playing the game...no hall of fame for barry period.

Answer 123

why is everyone a hater

Bonds is a great player,

Future Hall Of Famer



Just let him have the glory of breaking a damn record

Answer 124

i think since he took steroids he should tell bonds that he cant hit the home run record which hank Aaron has.

Answer 125

With Glee and Happiness...He is going to break the record and when he does he should get the proper accolades that come with such a feat!!

Answer 126

I personally think he shoud not do anything at all- seeing as Bonds did steroids and is STILL able to play.

Unfortunately... he will probably just raise bonds pay....

Answer 127

He should be there at the game and he should have a press conference afterward with Barry and Hank if he is there.

Answer 128

i think he has two choices, 1. put a * by the record or 2. just flat out take the record away( i think the record should be stricken from the record books)

Answer 129

that's an interesting question Chris, what i think he should do is swallow his pride and show up for it despite all the steroid allegations and how great of a person hank aaron is.

Answer 130

In a fitting move, he should send Gov. Arnold Schwartznagger to represent him, wearing a tank top saying "Don't do drugs"

Answer 131

Obviously he has to acknowledge the event. This is the single most important record in sports and for him to stay at home is a disservice to Barry and all of Baseball.

I am not Pro-Bonds but he will break the record like it or not.

Answer 132

Doesn't really matter...ARod will be blowing my Bonds in a couple of years, Bonds will just be an afterthought.

Answer 133

Ignore it. The record means nothing.

Answer 134

Give him a golden bat with a needle attached to it. On either side of the bat have two pictures, one of him when he was at the beginning of his carrer, and one of him now with his oversized head.

Answer 135

i think he should treat it like the great achievment that it is and it will draw more fans especially the kids it takes achievments like this to remember how special baseball is

Answer 136

They should put a special mark next to him and any other player who used/uses steroids or anything like that.

Answer 137

Incorporate two record books - Steroids and Non-steroids. That should settle it.

Answer 138

even though everything looks bad for bonds, there is no evidence. maybe they can freeze ball players blood for when a test is developed to test in the future

Answer 139

Go to the game. Innocent until PROVEN guilty!

Answer 140

I would put a big * next to his name with a footnote about the steroid period in baseball.

Answer 141

He should keep his hands in his pockets, and sweat it out just like he did the MLB draft!

Answer 142

he should be fine with it it's still a big milestone bonds was still hitting home runs without drugs so its still a milestone.

Answer 143

I agree what the 113 people said.

Answer 144

i do not think that they should allow bonds in the hall of fame . they say he was using steroids .any player that uses steroids should not be allowed to be in the hall of fame at ALL

Answer 145

by staying the hell away from bonds when he breaks the record...whatever he does he has to cover his *** and not get involved w/ it

Answer 146

never proven that he took steroids so he should be treated as the home run leader .

Answer 147

With an sign that says got steroids

Answer 148

First he needs to be present when it happens.



Second, there should not be any * besides his name in the record books. Even though I believe he did steriods, there was no testing in place back then and ever since they started testing he has not tested positive.

Answer 149

Well to be honest If was pitching to him I would make sure that the pitch hit him. I really think that Hank Arron still desirves the record because Arron hit all his homeruns by playing fair. Also If I was a fan that caught his homerun I would just keep it for myself just to make sure that he would never be able to get it.

Answer 150

Well, he could either ignore it, or he could show up at the ballpark and present Barry with a Giant asterisk **********

Answer 151

he does not deserve a record at all he needs booted out hes a cheater

Answer 152

he should show up like a man, say congrats and walk out

Answer 153

It doesn't matter if you think he took steroids or not. What matters is if there is evidence that he took steroids.

Answer 154

He should be ban for life and not allowed in the hall of fame.

Answer 155

He has to attend and acknowledge it, but he should choose his remarks and not make any claim that it was anything but a medical experiment.

Answer 156

Until you prove definitely he was on steroids, then you celebrate the accomplishment and Bug Selig and Hank Aaron should be at that game. It will probably happen in June sometime.

Answer 157

Turn his back and tell bonds to suck it then put the * next to his name.

Answer 158

place a * next to the stat and have a disclaimer about roids.

Answer 159

simple answer yes he broke the record put stars **** he broke the homer record by cheating..keeping his record out of the books,,,,,

Answer 160

He better celebrate it. This is his league, his era, his responsibility.

Answer 161

he's innocent until proven guilty. he deserves to be in the hall until they find a syringe in his bag.

Answer 162

He hasn't been convicted of any crime -- so you have to give him the same celebration you would any other player.........

Answer 163

I honestly feel, that every home he hit, while he was on the roids...should be taken away. That should go for every player in baseball , who has taken roids.

Answer 164

Him and the steriods shouldnt get the record.......

Answer 165

I say let him have it, but keep trying to prove he cheated.

Answer 166

You mean Bonds is still playing? You're honestly telling me that that hasn't been an imposter wearing htat uniform since '99?



None of his stats since then have counted, so there's no need for this question.

Answer 167

He has nothing to handle

Answer 168

Two words: "Public caning."

Answer 169

Show your @ss up and enjoy it !

Answer 170

he shouldn't count it.. bonds is on steroids

Answer 171

he should celebrate it and go to the game

Answer 172

he should not let him hold the record, he's been on steroids and everyone knows it, he should be exempt from everything except playing the game...no hall of fame for barry.

Answer 173

Go to strip club and drink beer.

Answer 174

there is really not much he can do..bonds have never been indicted..

Answer 175

I think he should be there when it happens

Answer 176

I say the same way they treated Roger Maris. Put the * next to it!

Answer 177

756*

Answer 178

He should honor him by giving him a trophy shaped like a syringe. ******* cheater, this record will mean absolutely nothing now. What a disgrace.

Answer 179

asteriekk

Answer 180

dont go

Answer 181

try hard

Answer 182

Put "dope" next to it.

Answer 183

i feel they should just act like it was never broken at all. just clam him as a cheat and let him juice up and hit home runs for no reason at all.

Answer 184

drug tests

Answer 185

He should not even acknowledge it.

Answer 186

Bonds has never tested positive for steroids. Therefore he must be treated like he never took steroids.

Answer 187

fire him that retarded bonds took steriods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
