Default How should MLB recognize Bonds career HR record?

I have been hearing a lot about this guy lately, and am wondering what the consensus is. He almost certainly passes both Babe Ruth and Henry Aaron for the #2 and #1 spots on the all time list, how should these events be recognized?

Strip it from him...cork don't count.

Even if it was just a single incident how are we to know for sure it wasn't just the only time he got caught?

If he breaks Hank Aaron's record, I bet Hank won't show up for the ceremony. I think THAT will define how it's looked at. h:

I think that's why MLB is really pushing this investigation. They want to prevent Bonds from passing these 2 and avoid the entire "*" situation.

On Bonds' new ESPN show, he portrays himself as the victim. He has creative control, so he gets to paint whatever picture you want. According to all the ESPN media guys, Bonds' is an arrogant prick who won't even sign a baseball ... unless you pay him $80.

big deal...he can make contact with the ball. if he wasnt on steroids, everything he hit wouldnt have went over the fence.

look at ichiro...he makes awesome contact with the ball, but doesnt hit nearly as far as bonds. so your hand-eye coordination argument is invalid.

when i played baseball i hardly struck out. i'd put the ball in play 90% of the time, but no way in my life could i hit the ball over the fence h:

Hitting a baseball is something that thousands of 10 year olds learn every year.
