Barry Bonds and the home run record.
First, hardly anyone cares about Barroid setting the all time record.
Next, when Hank Arron was setting the record, everyone I knew was really pulling for the guy.
Finally, how can Clueless Bud Selig let this happen. I don't wish anything bad for Bonds but I hope his bad Kharma catches up with him before he blasts home run number 756 into McCovey Cove.

1. Career-ending injury, anyone?

I hate to say something that mean-hearted, but for that douche, absolutely. He's not fit to shit in Hank Aaron's hat.

9. Please do tell about how
Babe Ruth's record was bogus. If it is the whole african americans were not allowed to play in the major leagues, I have a hard time buying it. He hit 714 homeruns, there may have been players in the Negro Leagues that could have hit more, but Ruth's record is the one "on the books" as it were, until Henry Aaron broke it!

13. Indeed it is the " whole African American thing "
if you want valid " record books " you have to allow everyone the same opportunity or else maybe just add an " * " as a reminder that the
records in question were accomplished while not allowing a lot of great players to play.

12. As a Giants fan, I want him to get it.
It's probably not the best thing for baseball as a whole, but it would make me smile.
