The only person defending Barry, and I love it.

YES. He's the home run king, regardless of how he got there. Why is there so much hatred for a guy none of you haters know. Not a single one of you people have ever met him and sat down with him in a personal environment. Asking for an autograph and him turning you down doesn't count, neither does seeing him on the street and him ignoring you, that doesn't count either. Who cares who owns what record. What does it matter? Is it your record he's breaking, is it your dads, or brothers? If not then who the hell cares? It is an absolute disgrace of how much stock we put into these athletes. What the hell do I care i####uy wants to risk his health in pursuit of the American dream. Your telling me you wouldn't take a substance that would make you stronger, faster and get you paid not 2X, not 3X, not even 10X what your all ready getting paid, but 20X or more. Your telling me you'd be content with making a league minimum if you knew by taking a substance you could make 500% more. Thats just ridiculous. The answer is obvious.

Getting back to the way Barry is treated, okay I understand he brought some of it on himself, but the utter hatred is totally uncalled for. I bet right now if a head line came across your TV reading Barry Bonds dies in a car accident a lot of you would be happy, hell, probably even cheering. Over what. A stupid fu#k!ng number. Are you serious? This is what your life has amounted too. Hating a guy who plays a sport you would give your left nut for if you had his ability. Is you hatred that deep? You hate somebody so much, a guy you've never met, never had a conversation with, a guy who has done absolutely nothing to any of you so much that you would wish bodily harm. That is absolutely disgusting. So what he's the record holder. Big friggin deal. He's not the only one breaking records unnaturally, so is Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, Eric Gange, Gary Sheiffield, Giambi, and who knows who else. BIG DEAL. Okay so some of his behavior with the media and a few fans isn't all that great, but is all of that worth calling this man out every chance you get. Can you imagine what his kids go through, regardless if their father took some illegal substance. Does that give you people the right to cal this man a cheater, a disgrace, a worthless excuse for a man, not even a man a all? Can you imagine if people called your mother or father this, and used vulgar and henous epithets in the direction of your dad? No kid regardless of their parents should be subjected to such hate. It's not like he murdred someone, or #### anyone, or beat the hell out of his wife or girlfriend. But you wouldn't know it from all of the hate spread across all of the media outlets.

This game of baseball is entertainment. That is all it is. Entertainment. Pure and simple. And what kills me is that a lot of the nay sayers are people who never played the game at a high level. They've never experienced the pressure of having to perform at a professional level, and even if you where you certainly have never reached the level Barry Bonds has reached. And if you were a true sports fan a real die hard fan who loved the game and it's players and if you where really one of those kids who grew up playing sports with that special dream then you know as well as I do you would drop everything and I mean everything you have right now if you could be in Barry's shoes in terms of playing Major League Baseball at the highest level and being paid multi millions of dollars. You may say no you wouldn't in public in fear of being shunned from your peers, but you know deep down you would in a second. So why hate? Why hate if you yourself would give up everything to have what he has.

Another point of seen on this whole Barry Bonds issue is "well, what about the kids?" Well what about them? You know people if you hate Barry Bonds stop going to his games. Stop going to your local field in droves with your snot nose kids to see him play even if it is to boo him. You honestly think the owners, coaches, and players care if your there to boo him or not? Are you kidding? Your the ones who just spent close to $75 for tickets, food, parking and goofy souvenior per person. I mean the whole "I hate what beseball has become" thing is such a lame excuse to just complain. If you hate it so much why is baseball stronger then ever, why is are Barry Bond games some of the most watched games in the entire league? If baseball has become such a disgrace then stop watching, stop going and stop giving your opionion on the subject.

Barry Bonds is going to break the record and I couldn't be happier, I really couldn't. As of today he's the best ball player I've ever seen play, maybe one day A-Rod will break Bonds' home run record and maybe even Albert Pujols will get close too, but as of right now my home run king is Barry Bonds. He did what all the other big sluggers did during his time, and  you know what I'm not going to sweat the details because professional sports is entertainment, that's all it is.
