San Francisco Giant Barry Bonds, who is under federal investigation over possible perjury over whether he used steroids, hit his 713th career home run on Sunday May 7th 2006, against the Philadelphia Phillies. Bringing him at par with Babe Ruth for second place in Major League Baseball's all-time homer list.
Bonds, 41, may now also set his sights on the all-time home run record of 755 held by Hank Aaron although many Phillies fans believe Bonds is not worthy of that honor.
A banner held up by some Phillies fans on Sunday said: "Ruth did it on hot dogs and beer, Aaron did it with class. How did you do it?" [extracts from http://tvnz.co.nz]
Personally i believe Barry Bond should go on trial, he should either come clean if he never did and should enjoy the respect and fame he deserves, or, like some of his critics wants his achievements to be ShiftDel from Baseball's books for ever. In either case i think, new generation, many of who wants to be like Barry, will have a lesson to learn.
