Wah! Wah! People thought Hank Aaron breaking it was bad, too, because he played too many season and because he was black.
Bonds would've shattered the record if he would get pitched to by now.. and that's even without steroids.
But, on the homerun derby front, I thought he should compete in it, just because it'd give someone for the hometown fans to root for.. Not sure if the Giants ended up getting anybody else in it or not, but I thought he should've done it for that.
But I'm not upset about it because I'm not a big Bonds fan or anything.
