Does anyone care about Barry Bonds breaking the record?

    Chances are Barry Bonds will be breaking the homerun record within the next couple of days. Does anybody really care? It seems like most people are resigned to the fact that he cheated to get to this point, and even top baseball execs are cautious about the whole situation. I mean, what does it say when the commisioner of baseball won't confirm that he'll even acknowledge Barry when he breaks the record?? I mean, he'll be at the game I'm sure, but no one's certain what his reaction will be.

    I agree with Codythebest.

    I'm 99% sure this belongs in the Entertainment section.
    Otherwise I'd know who Barry Bond is :p

    I agree baseball can be boring at times.... But it probably is the most sacred record in baseball.

    I mean Babe Ruth hit his homeruns when the fences were longer and the ball was dead.

    Normally I'd care, but Bonds really is nothing special. Don't care much for anythign he accomplishes, certainly doesn't deserve the record he's gonna get.

    I'm a baseball fan and even I don't care about this. Bonds definitely cheated, but only time will tell how he will be judged. To be fair, Pac Bell/AT&T Park is not a great home run park for lefties. The gap in right-center is ridiculously deep, and that's where a lot of Bonds' home runs went. He should not have cheated, but he did face a disadvantage that many other hitters did not have to face.

    I could care less. To me, Bonds is a cheater and does not deserve to be in the same category as some as the greats like Hank Aaron and Babe Ruth. I hope when he breaks it, the whole crowd stands up and boos.
