Just before 12:00 AM here on the east coast, a baseball bat cracks sending one over the fence at AT&T Park.  Bonds at the plate watches.  The bat slips from his grip.  Arms fly up, cheers break out.  Fireworks shoot out from the scoreboard as number 25 rounds the bases after a fan catches number 756.

            Bonds' son hops over the dugout.  Wife steps onto the field.  "Say Hey" Willie Mays gives him a hug and a microphone.  Bud Selig, this time, is not forced to look like a deer in head lights on national TV when Bonds belts the go ahead Home Run out of the park.  Soon, the attention of the audience is directed at an electronic screen on the scoreboard where the face of one Hank Aaron plays his role in congratulating Barry Bonds.  A cameraman for ESPN catches a beautiful shot from behind Bonds' ballooned head of Bonds watching Aaron wishing him his best.

            With Aaron completing his speech, it's time for Bonds to do one of his own.  Bonds keeps it sweet and short, only thanking a select few of people, omitting BALCO, Victor Conte, or "the guy" who put him on his program.

            And like Bonds' speech, this blog will hopefully be sweet (for readers), but certainly short.

            While some celebrate, some question.  While some will remember forever, others will want to forget...right now.  In 30 years, a grandfather will tell his grandson his personal story of witnessing baseball history.  Another will tell his about witnessing the greatest controversial home run in baseball history.  It's all about perception.  No matter how YOU see it, this day is special in a lot of ways.  For me, I'm the fan hoping that in 30 years, I'll be telling my grandson about the history making Home Run A-Rod hit.
