Barry Bonds

ESPN should understand that even though Bonds' chase of HR 660 and 661 technically is history - most people don't care. Mostly people don't care because it's Barry Bonds.

He unlikeable (i.e. he's a prick) and there is the huge question of his steroid use. Most people just can't get positively emotionally involved with the guy. If Barry Bonds does break Babe Ruth's mark or Henry Aaron's - then must people will devalue those accomplishments. I happen to think that Bonds is bad for baseball and I definately don't buy into the greatest player BS (that would be Babe Ruth - when Barry learns to pitch like Ruth then maybe we can talk) or greatest hitter BS (that would be Ted Williams - when Barry volunteers for the service twice maybe we'll be able to compare apples to apples).
