Default Barry Bonds

Barry Bonds would have the most hallowed record in baseball. Highest home runs.

I use to watch/follow MLB when McGuire and Sosa was chasing the Home Run record for the season. Clements, Big Unit, Braves Pitchers and hating the yankees was my attraction. All poofed away when the labor lockout /drug cheat became a news. Don't care much about the all time home run record chase by Barry either.

However, I listen to the radio talkshows (sports) and there was an arguement made which I think was legit.

Sould Barry's record be hailed by all (once he breaks Hank Aaron's home run reocrd)?

Some say he was juiced up. They would care less. The others argue what would you do about the pitchers who used it and pitched to Barry and others? If you accept McGuire's record, if you accept Jason Ziambi's World series rings why not accept Barry's? Is it because he is black and they are not?

What's your thought on this one? Do you care even?
