The entire thing is a farce.
And you know, the Homerun Record was put up as high as possible even though it probably didn't even deserve it. Ok so the Bonds record is tainted because he used what was available in his era to succeed...just as every player has in the past. Each and every era evolves (or devolves) and eras should be judged alone. It's impossible to compare what Babe Ruth did to what Alex Rodriguez did simply because of era. The main problem with baseball is that the statistics don't change...and frankly that is the only constant. Calling the homerun record tainted is a farce, just as this marking of the ball. Perhaps Marc Ecko could have purchased a Ty Cobb jersey and screen-printed "PRICK", would the hall accept that? How about a Mickey Mantle jersey with "ALCOHOLIC" written on it? Cap Anson bat with "RACIST"? These same people who believe that the Bonds ball should have an asterisk are the same people who believed that Roger Maris' 1961 season total should have an asterisk. When will the fans of this game understand the differences between eras? As far as I am concerned, if the Bonds ball gets an asterisk...every single piece of memorabilia from 1992 to 2005 should be marked with an equally placed asterisk. Just as every piece of memorablia before 1947 should be displayed with a Klansman's hat, every piece from the 80's with a mound of coke, 60's and 70's should have bottles of green pills for speed. Oh yeah, let's mark it all up. -------------------- ![]() ![]() |
