The Gloves are Off...

Who do you think you are to predict that Barry Bonds won't break Hank Aaron's home run record in 2007? I realize that the baseball world is in a bit of a post Winter Meetings lull right now, but come on, is this the best you could come up with to get some ink or digital ink if you will?

You know just as well as everyone else that Barry Bonds is going to break the record. There are only three possible things that can stop Bonds now:

1) Indictment
2) Getting Walked in EVERY At-Bat
3) He Blows Out His Knees

Bonds will surpass Aaron in 2007.Bonds was coming around at the end of last season which, given that he was doing his recovering on the field and in uniform, would be appropriate given the severity of the three surgeries he had the season prior.

Whether you want to call him a cheater or not is irrelevant because Bonds is a great pure hitter, he always has been and always will be. Steroids can make you big and strong, that's great, but they can't teach you to hit a 95mph fastball. You can either hit or you can't and that's all there is to that.

Bonds WILL break Hank Aaron's record in 2007 because he is the most prolific hitter of all-time. It doesn't matter if he gets walked another 200 times in 2007 or if he doesn't have any protection in the lineup. All Bonds is going to need is for pitchers to get cocky or stupid or just plain thoughtless and leave a pitch up in the zone.

All it's going to take is 22 mistakes and then it's over, Bonds will have the record he has earned through hardwork and determination and you, Mr. Perry can enjoy dining on a big heaping plate of crow.

ABOUT ME


tkatt00
I am a 24-year-old aspiring baseball writer. I grew up to stories of Willie Mays, the Miracle Mets and the Bronx Zoo from my father. Although my playing days never amounted to much, baseball has always remained my passion. I recently moved to Boston from the midwest and I am enjoying the hype and hysteria of living at the heart of Red Sox Nation. As you can tell from my avatar the Twins are my team, a result of being born and raised in Iowa and attending college in Minnesota. If you're ever in the mood to talk baseball, or any sport for that matter, you can drop me a line or leave a comment on my blog.
