Bonds' drive for 714 means.. not what it did when Hank did it

Too bad the cheating over the past few years has diminished the importance of records in sports that we used to revere. Thanks Barry, Mark, Sammy and the cast of many others.

TSN: Bonds' drive for 714 yawn of new era - Barry Bonds - MSNBC.com:

"Say Alex Rodriguez hits 800 home runs.

I doubt he would receive the adulation Mark McGwire and Sammy Sosa did during their home run race in 1998. Such records no longer will inspire unabashed reverence, even if they are set by a player as untainted as Rodriguez.

This is the legacy of the Steroids Era, and the indifference toward Barry Bonds' pursuit of Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list is a sign of things to come.

The euphoria that stemmed from Cal Ripken breaking Lou Gehrig's consecutive-games record in 1995 never will be duplicated." more
