Bonds hits 700
Barry Bonds hit his 700th home run last night. Still, he can hit 800 and will never be able to outrun the questions about his late career power surge.
That is the problem. With baseball's weak as ever steroid policy, we will never know if Bonds is clean, even if he is.
Therefore, his record is forever clouded in a sea of question. I certainly have my doubts about the legitimacy of Bonds--and Sosa and McGwire for that matter. But since there is no proof, and likely never will be, this period in baseball will be looked upon with a mental asterisk.
And that's a shame.
