Dan, Dan, Dan.
Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan, Dan.
Dammit, Dan.
Sigh. . .
Dan, you are out of your mind about Barry Bonds and "no room for situational ethics." As deserving as he is of an asterisk, Barry Bonds is no more guilty of an exceptional level of cheating than is Mark McGuire, Sammy Sosa, or the vast number of .200 hitters who did what it takes to make themselves the best they could be.
This offense is ALL ABOUT situational ethics.
If baseball hadn't looked the other way LIKE ALL OTHER SPORTS and tacitly encouraged this form of performance enhancing drug abuse, Bonds would have performed au natural. Instead, he behaved appropriately for the times. Now times have changed and people like you are excoriating him.
Would he have eclipsed Mays, Ruth and Aaron without drugs? Who knows. We'll never know how many Ruth would have hit as a tea-tottler, or Aaron as a white. Times are everything.
If he gets the record, give him his asterisk and give us a break!
