Default Barry Bonds

Unlike any other business in the United States, sports must preserve an illusion of perfect innocence. The mounting of this illusion defines the purpose and accounts for the immense wealth of American sports. It is the ceremony of innocence that the fans pay to see -- not the game or the match or the bout, but the ritual portrayal of a world in which time stops and all hope remains plausible, in which everybody present can recover the blameless expectations of a child, where the forces of light always triumph over the powers of darkness.

Lewis H. Lapham


Barry Bonds, probably without ever knowing or thinking of the ramifications of his actions, has put a record to rival all records to rest. He should have been cheered, adulated, and carried on the shoulders of all. Instead all we can say is why? With all of your natural God given talent why?
Read the above Barry, the key words, PERFECT INNOCENCE,a world where TIME STOPS and ALL HOPE REMAINS PLAUSIBLE, where everyone can recover the BLAMELESS EXPECTATIONS of A CHILD. Where the FORCES of LIGHT ALWAYS TRIUMPH OVER THE POWERS of DARKNESS.
Sorry to say, you, in simple words, BLEW IT! Sorry to say,you are not in the same league with Ruth. You may have tied a number, and you may go ahead of that number, but your name will not conjure up visions of greatness.
What a bummer you tied number two, but you sold out years ago.
Thanks for listening,feeling much better now!!

715 for Bonds now. Passes Babe Ruth and 40 away from Aaron.

Default Bonds Destiny?

Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.
