I was ignoring Barry Bonds and watching a Tivo'd episode of The Bronx is Burning. I've watched with rapt attention as many other of sports' biggest records have fallen. Tonight, I couldn't have cared less. And to think, when Barry Bonds was a skinny lead off hitter, I was actually a fan. In the ensuing years, he has found so many ways to disrespect the game that tonight I skipped his accomplishment. There has not been so dislikeable of a great player since Ty Cobb hung up his cleats. Congrats, Barry. May A-Rod wipe your record off the books, and soon.
By the way, Henry Aaron showed huge class tonight with his message on the scoreboard after the 756th home run.
