Why send your childhood chum to jail? I don’t remember watching Bonds play when he was skinny as I was a bit young, but I know that a cheat is a cheat is a cheat. You say that the record isn’t tainted because of Aaron, but all Aaron did with his speech is remind people what class and dignity really is, and how lacking the new record holder is in that regard.
The one good thing about Bonds doing this is it’s made me appreciate more how difficult it was for Ruth and Aaron to do this amazing feat. While Bonds did it with flaxseed oil and creamy lotions, Aaron did it with amazing determination, focus and dignity, and Ruth did it with swagger, beer and cigars.
