Well, Barry Bonds finally did it. He has hit more home runs than any other major leaguer. Most famous as Babe Ruth and now more than the previous record holder, ran away from home, Hank Aaron.
The home track was like any other home run. He made the fence and landed in the stands. It seemed no different than thousands of home runs hit in Major League history. It was not a monster shot that traveled 550 feet, and was not a home run that just cleared the wall, or may haveIt 'was a foul ball was just trying to run a normal house. But it is not running this particular house that is so controversial, but all home runs with that player.
For years, rumors have spread that Barry Bonds illegal substances like steroids is called doping. Baseball has special investigation steroid use in baseball had. It is argued that many baseball players have used steroids. Jose Canseco wrote a book about steroids in baseballand has been strongly criticized. This was long before the steroid use was a problem so much has been written release. We as a society become more about this alleged use, but not much. The union of baseball is one of the most difficult of all. The players are all talk and no uniform. Even former players do not talk about it when he does say never personally seen someone else.
A long-time childhood friend of Barry Bonds, Greg Anderson, is sitting in jail because he refuses to testifyagainst bonds. Anderson is a convicted steroids dealer and was part of Balco.
Barry Bonds is so controversial, the Commissioner of Baseball, Bud Selig, but not in the game. In fact, he was in New York, preparing to meet former Senator George Mitchell to discuss the ongoing investigation into steroids in baseball and drugs to improve performance. The only place where it would be far from the village. Selig meeting with Mitchell was to provide an update on former SenatorReport which is expected by the end of the year. The investigation that is now 17 months has been put back by a lack of authority to compel testimony or subpoena documents, it is unclear how much information will tell.
It was quite obvious that Selig is not happy about Bonds thing. To his credit, however, Selig called Bonds a run on the phone after the historic house to congratulate him on his performance. In addition, executive vice president of MLBBaseball operations Jimmie Lee Solomno and Hall of Famer Frank Robinson were present to represent the Office of the Commissioner.
Let's be fair, Selig has personally witnessed a runaway and was also in 755 games with Milwaukee, as Barry, even if they do not hit all the bonds in Milwaukee. When Bonds hit 755 observed, Selig with an apparent lack of interest. He rose from his seat, but not to applaud and seemed bored or angry about the whole event.
Another affrontBonds is now the former record holder Hank Aaron, not a witness in the person of a record-breaking home runs. Just as Aaron Selig, however, had a message that plays on the tape home run scoreboard was the fact that the bonds congratulated for his personal interpretation.
While many people are not fans of Barry was very happy to finally 756th After the game, Bonds said, "It 'was absolutely the best, absolutely the best." But when asked about the ideathat the record is tainted because of his alleged use of steroids, Bonds said: "... This disc is not ruined at all Period guys can say what they want."
Although no one can ever prove Barry Bonds took steroids, this brand will always be surrounded in controversy. Can not be a visible star next to it, but for millions of fans, you may have.
