Barry Bonds will break Hank Aaron’s all-time home run record sometime soon. The real question is, Should we care?
The villified poster child for the steroid era, Bonds has gathered as much bad press as Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Lionel Richie’s pencil-thin daughter. Rumors have flown about Bonds for years, especially after he became twice the man (literally) he was in a span of months.
Soon he’ll be the all-time home run king, supplanting a man who did it with hard work. That’s not to say Bonds hasn’t worked hard, and he proved that he could be a big-time player well before his hat size increased.
But it’s the period of time when he hit a billion home runs at an advancing age that has everyone raising their eyebrows.
There may never be any proof to condemn Bonds. Then again, maybe there will be.
