715 NOT TARNISHED IN THIS BOOK
Barry Bonds finally passed the Babe with home run No. 715.
I know I'm in the minority here, but this accomplishment, unfortunately, will be tarnished by most.
The fact is that 715 home runs is far and away the best mark in the "steroid era." While nothing has been proven, even the naysayers have to admit he can't possibly have been the only guy trying to get an edge. So even if you believe he did something illegal, no one else seemed to be able to collect anywhere near 700 homers.
Steroids don't help you see the ball or hit the ball. What Barry Bonds has done with his home run total is quite amazing. Is he a jerk? Draw your own conclusions on that. The point is, he's one helluva hitter!
