Barry Bonds sets homerun record

4 11 2007

This season in the major leagues saw Barry Bonds, long time member of the MLB break the all-time home run record. Many believe that his accomplishments are tainted, because of the allegations made about his steroid use throughout the later stages of his career. Experts have argued that there should be an asterisk placed next to the record that he eventually ends at. They believe this because they want the asterisk to show the difference between his record and the one set by Henry Aaron, the previous all time home run king. I think there should be an asterisk next to Bonds’ name and home run number, because he took a short cut to get to that home run title. The difference in the accomplishments that these two different athletes had should be held has two separate records, to honor the name of Henry Aaron, who truly should be the home run king.
