COMPARING BARRY BONDS WITH HANK AARON? DISGRACEFUL!

July 10 was the 2007 MLB All-Star Game, played in San Francisco. Ken Griffey Jr. of the Cincinnati Reds and Alex Rodriguez of the New York Yankees were the top vote-getters for their respective leagues, based on the record 18.5 million votes cast by fans. Barry Bonds, meanwhile, becomes the oldest player to be an All-Star, at 42. Bonds was barely voted into his own hometown's All-Star game, overcoming a deficit of over 100,000 votes and edging into the third and final starter's slot in the final days of balloting. We can't know for sure whether or not Barry Bonds actually used performance-enhancing drugs, but two things are certain. One, Bonds will hit more home runs than any other player in history. As of July 4, he needs only five more to break Hank Aaron's all-time record of 755. And two, in terms of Bonds' legacy, that record will be equaled, and perhaps even eclipsed, by the drug controversy surrounding him, Bond is about to outshine one of the most impressive achievements in baseball history, and yet, he is appearing in his first All-Star game since 2004 and is roundly booed at every stadium besides his own.
