754...755!...756?

I don't know why, but part of me hopes that when Barry Bonds gets to 754 home runs, that opposing pitchers either intentionally walk him for the rest of the season, or bean him. The man just doesn't seem to have the graciousness that I would like to have in a Major Baseball Record holder. Big Mark had respect for Maris' record, and Sammy seemed to as well. Hank Aaron went through some serious issues with other people not wanting him to break Ruth's 714, but at least that showed that he had a human side to him. I don't care about the "Steroid" allegations either, just show us some emotion over one of the greatest records in sports.

I seriously agree, although maybe the "steroid issue" is part of my opinion....
