We don't care that Barry Bonds (allegedly) used performance-enhancing drugs to set the single-season home run record. Many players were doing it, baseball wasn't testing for it, and baseball is a competition. In competition, you do whatever you can within the rules to win. Bonds did that. Is he an asshole? Definitely. Are the numbers he's put up over the past seven years faulty when compared to what past legends like Ruth, Mays and Mantle did during their careers? Probably. But honestly, when Bonds hits his next - and 756th overall - home run, we'll be extremely relieved. We can't stand talking and hearing about this record ad nauseam any longer.
We will watch this delightful video, though.
