bterreson Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Barry Bonds hit his lifetime 714th homerun in the 2nd inning against Oakland A's, it was hit to right field, and the pitcher was Brad Halsey.

DEAD! Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Look this from SI.com's website. In the first few seconds you can see Babe shanking his head (reload the image if necessary) I saw, I came, I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Like the US refused to recognize the People's Republic of China as ligit until the 1970's, I refuse to recongnize Bonds tying Ruth's record. He cheated. Plain and simple. He even admitted to taking steroids. He also said he wasn't aware that he was taking steroids. Whether that's true or not, it dosn't make a difference. He took steroids, he cheated.How anyone can continue to defend him beyond me. It's just a shame that he'll probablly get away with cheating to break the records of two of baseball's greatest players. 714** Indeed PotD 26/2/12 1/7/15 2020 BASS Spin the Wheel, Make the Deal Regular Season Champion 2021 BASS NFL Pick'em Regular Season Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squeaks4 Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Also the person who cought the ball did he throw it back? If he did, he wins the dumbest person in America award for 2006.Oh, and that Babe picture is one of the funniest things I have seen this week. I wonder if SI will get any flack over that.

Why he wouldn't get that much for the ball considering Bonds memorablia isn't selling for a high amont anymore. Plus MLB is not authenticating the ball so he will have little proof the ball is actually 714. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And ESPN already said the name of the guy who caught it, so as long as the guy can verify he is the same person it will be offical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steriods weren't against the rules in baseball up until last season, so Bonds' homeruns are legitiment. Regardless of what you think of steriods, anyone in the sport could have taken them too, including his opposing pitchers. Now if MLB tests him after today's game and it comes back positive, then by all means call him a cheater. If not, be quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, when all is said and done, Bonds needed steroids (an illegal substance) to get his numbers, while Rurth and Aaron did it clean.

Neon_Matrix Posted May 20, 2006 Share Posted May 20, 2006 Now its time to sit and wait for Babe Ruth to rise from the grave and sign with the Yank's to protect his record from being passed. Also, he will want to sample all the new kinds of beer they have now. Because Korbyn Is Colour Blind, My Signature Is Now Idiot Proof - Thanks Again Braden!!Go Leafs Go!

Baseball banned the use of steroids shortly after the federal government made them illegal. In June of 1991 the sent a memo out setting the drug policy. Even stating the penalties for being caught could include banishment. Steroids were even explicitly mentioned in the memo. MLB even sent another memo out in 1997 to re-enforce the 1991 memo. The thing was that there wasn't testing until 2003, but they were illegal. Thus if anything is found out in MLB's investigation from prior than 2003 those players can be punished. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/eticket/story?page=steroidsBesides even if MLB didn't ban them they were illegal to use in the United States which would make them illegal in baseball.
