Do you attach any racial significance to Baroid passing Babe Ruth?
This guy says he doesn't.

if bonds were white, i would feel the same way about the asshole.

ditto if ruth were black.

its a damned shame the rest of the world doesn't feel the same exact way.

I dont.
And as far as all this brewHaHa surrounding his steroid usage, I think people concerned about HR records are only thinking in terms of Aarons (a black man) big #1 record, because it was pretty much a given that he was gonna pass the Babe before there were any repercussions over the current controversy that surrounds him.
He's not swingin well but he's still gonna pass the Babe this season.

I thought we were getting pictures of Bonds and his mistress here.

Just reported on the FAN , a Grand Jury is investigating Bonds for perjury.

Its not a race thing at all for me, I simply hate Barry Bonds.

If Ken Griffey Jr. had never gotten hurt with Cincinatti and was now chasing Ruth/Aaron i'd be happily rooting for him.
