Some of you know, or might not know, but I am a rabid SF Giants fan!!
I have gone to World Series games in 89' and in 02', countless playoff games, and hundreds of regular season games. . . . .
I witnessed the record breaking 756 home run from the left field bleachers last night, and it was fucking bad ass!!! That place was pandemonium, similar to when Kenny Lofton hit the basehit to win the Pennant in 02' (was at that game as well!!).
Regardless of what people think of Barry Bonds, the record is amazing!!! Barry IS the greatest player of his generation hands down, steroids or no steroids!!! I have said in previous posts that I am not a huge Barry fan (which I am not), but I have revised my opinion on the steriod matter. This is the USA, and people are innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around. I think Barry has handled himself brilliantly this year, and has really managed to play despite all the media frenzy/bias against him. Bud Selig however is a fucking joke, wait. . . . how about an absolute PRICK!! He has been like "Deer in the headlights" when talking about Barry Bonds, and for that he should be ashamed!!
I personally dont care one way or the other about the steroids anymore!! Because bottom line, you still have to hit the frigging baseball which is one of THE most difficult things to do in sport!!! If anything the steroids should have made him slow and cumbersome, and unable to swing the bat through the zone to get maximum "wood" on the ball. . . . . Not only that, Barry HAS taken urine tests the last few years and has had no positive tests whatsoever. . . .
Anyway, last night was a magical night for Giants fans (even though we are the shits this year), and baseball fans the world over!!
This is a pic from last night as he hit the homerun (from SFGATE.com)
