Look, guys, have it each your own way. I'm no missionary and I didn't set out to make converts, just have an honest discussion. Many missionaries have wound up in pots, I've read; and I've no desire to to join them, even metaphorically.
I'm not going to spend time responding to polls of fans and their rooting "feelings" at the moment. Besides, like it or not, that poll's majority is now sadly disappointed. I sincerely hope it doesn't spoil their weekend.
Personally, I'm happy for Bonds; and I believe he represents a HR recordholder, all time, as well as anyone, simply because of his career performance, overall. I've heard in some media that even Hank Aaron's classy bow to Bonds' achievement was filmed weeks in advance, and only after some very heavy negotiations. [I would love to know what THAT involved, but won't lose sleep over it].
There's always a fly in the ointment, especially if one looks for it. I'm bowing out now. It's been fun. My daughter started debating this with me last night, so I guess THAT will be continued over the weekend, good-naturedly, I'm hoping.
