Barry Bonds hit a 400 foot laser last night for his 741st career home run. He's 14 shy of Hank Aaron's 755 record. There's a lot of flap about Bonds not deserving such a hallowed mark since anyone with an ounce of common sense knows he used performance enhancing drugs.
I don’t respect guys who take short cuts or their achievements, however, Bonds is just one player in a league full of cheaters. The pitchers are on steroids, or HGH, or whatever, just the same as Bonds.
Yeah, it's true the faster the pitch the further the hit. But it's also true that the faster the pitch the tougher it is to make contact.
Aaron set the mark for his day and age.
Unfortunately, Bonds will set the mark for ours.
Cheaters suck.
