Good for Aaron. He did the right thing buy leaving Atlanta. I'm surprised that Bonds wasn't given the Sherman welcome. Atlanta still spits out his name.
There is talk of Bonds playing one more season. It is evident the Giants have had enough. What team would want him?

Hank Aaron Classy hero
"I would like to offer my congratulations to Barry Bonds on becoming baseball's career home run leader," Aaron said. "It is a great accomplishment which requires longevity and determination. Throughout the past century, the home run has held a special place in baseball, and I have been privileged to hold this record for 33 of those years.
"I move over now and offer my best wishes to Barry and his family on this historical achievement. My hope today, as it was on that April evening in 1974, is that the achievement of this record will inspire others to chase their own dreams."

Its all about Barry...
The only way Barry should enter the Hall of Fame is by buying a ticket. He will go down in history as the meanest, nastiest selfish players that ever played the game.
Jerk.

Leave "Hammering Hank" Alone
When Hank Aaron was pursing THE record, he travelled that path alone. MLB did not give him security or props through that magical journey. He endured death threats, before, during and after he broke Babe Ruth's records.
For him to be attacked by ANYBODY particularly colored journalist is reprehensible.
Barry Bonds is a nasty human being who happens to have mocha skin. You do not get a "being an asshole is ok" card because you are a talented athlete.
The shame of it all, is that Bonds did not have enough faith in his 'gift" of an awesome swing.
There are tons of stories of how he treated the "help" and his peers in the locker room.
MLB is worse because the league turned a blind eye to the steriod use that was common knowledge. The league was caught up in the HR excitement and lost its way.
Hank Aaron has never received the respect and honor that he deserved. For him to be drug into this mess is sad.
