So I just watched Barry Bonds hit No. 756.
Ugh.
Seriously. I think I’m gonna be sick.
He hit it, and there I sat motionless and e-motionless on the couch. My stomach started churning, watching him round the bases …
A far cry from the way I felt or reacted as I watched Mark McGwire hit No. 62 in ‘98. Granted, the times and what we know about those players has changed …
Sigh.
Then, the guy can’t even finish the game! The special treatment Bonds gets is just wrong.
… The only awe-inspiring part of the whole thing was the surprise video Hank Aaron delivered on the video board. The dignity and respect he showed was truly awesome … and, boy, did he choose his words carefully …
I’m done. I turned off the game …
What a croc …
