Who needs tickets?

Is anybody following the Barry Bonds home run record chase? This guy has no shame at all, at least Mark McGwire  
quit the game after breaking the record (but a cheater nonetheless).

Bonds kept it going long enough to chase down a legend, Hank Aaron. It just makes me laugh and sad at the same time whenever I see Bonds in a TV interview and see how easily he talks and deflects any steroid use question. He’s proven to be in contact with a every major steroid provider and trainer around the Bay Area.

His body ballooned after leaving the Pirates, and how does he explain it?….Eating better, working out more, conditioning, blah blah blah! And then finally, he admitted to using steroids. And what baffles me is that a lot of people do not care about the allegations nor the impact that steroids have. Some people don’t see it for what it’s worth. He’s kept this position for years now.

This guy’s something. You can see the guilt in his face. Perhaps this is why he never got along with the media from the beginning. He’s the type of person who does things under the table and automatically acts defensively from outside his very small circle of trust.

Before the season started, the Giants organization was debating whether they wanted to be a part of this questionable record chase or just run away from it. I guess it was just a stunt to makes us all think they were trying to do the right thing. With money in the way, everything is possible, and with all the revenue that Bonds and his chase will bring to the franchise, this was a decision they could not let go by. They signed Bonds, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded Bonds after he breaks the record.

Hank Aaron has explicitly said he wants no part of this history. I hope baseball makes the right decision in handling this matter. You just cannot celebrate a cheater, and if you do, you’re disrespecting the players that came before him and most importantly the sport.

San Francisco will be the home of the All Star game come July 10, and we’re preparing here at Tickets of America. Will Bonds be chosen to play in this game? As of right now, he’s fourth in voting among outfielders. My guess is that he’ll be there, especially since it’s taking place in his team’s ball park.
