    Homerun record

    Just wondering how many of you think that when Barry breaks the record, it should have and asterick by it?

    Personally, I say no. To many questions that are unanswered.

    I'm about 99% sure he took steroids and HGH. But, so did probably the majority of everybody else in major league baseball. It wouldn't bother me at all if they wiped out every record set since about 1985. As far as I'm concerned 61 and 755 are the HR records. If you're going to put an asterisk in the record books it should be next to every stat from whenever the steroid era began. I think Bonds is a cheating @$$hole, but I'm more pissed at MLB for him getting away with it than I am at him for doing it.

    No *. Nothing has been proven...yet.

    As far as Aaron's ABs, you have to look at the Walks that Ruth and Bonds have. They are the best players ever...Ruth and Bonds along with Mays and Aaron very close behind. ARod is creeping up on them thought and Griffey could have been if not for injuries.
