756*.

It's official: Notorious slugger and obvious juicer Barry Bonds passes Hammerin' Hank Aaron as the all-time home run leader. Ho-hum. To be honest, I still haven't figured out how I come down on the Bonds steroid thing (partly because I am at best only a casual fan of baseball, and thus don't really care all that much. As I said here, I'd rather watch basketball, soccer, or football on any given night than I would MLB, even before the league gave us Dubya. Take that, George Will.) But, regarding Bonds: On one hand, he seems like a jerk, and it's painfully obvious he's a user. On the other, the Baseball Hall of Fame is filled with unlikable people, many people in pro baseball are clearly using, a case could be made against other kinds of enhancements (contacts, for example), and I highly doubt I could hit 756 home runs even if I were ingesting three times the steroids Bonds did. So, it's a wash.
