Mark it on your calendar everybody.  May 20th, 2006 marks the day Barry Bonds hit his 714 homerun to tie the Babe.  In the days leading up to this event, there were many different reactions to how one might celebrate this historic event.  Some people were going give Bonds a standing ovation, others would have booed profoundly, and a few, or maybe more, wouldn't have cared.

I personally feel Barry Bonds doesn't deserve an ovation, or a party, or even recognition for overcoming such a monumental leap in MLB history.  Apparently I'm not the only one, either.  Phillies pitcher Cory Lidle had this to say,

"It's sad," Lidle says, "I'm not a player-hater. I like to see players get paid as much as they can. But without friggin' cheating."

Houston Pitcher Russ Springer showed his love for Barry as he nailed Bonds when he was at bat on Tuesday, and Springer was suspended for four games three days later.
