The hullabaloo over Barry Bonds hitting his 714th career home run and tying Babe Ruth is now over. This will only lead to even more build up for him passing Ruth and moving into second place all alone, but not here at Sports Underground. I only want to point out, as I like to do every chance I get, what a classless act Barry Bonds is and will continue to be. A 19 year old young man named Tyler Snyder was the person who caught Bond’s homer yesterday in Oakland. Snyder quickly left the game with his souvenir because I’m sure he was worried about someone attempting to take the record tying ball. When Bonds was told Snyder is an A’s fan, he cracked back with: “I, um, forgive you. If he doesn’t like me, give me the ball.” Another wonderful example that Barry Bonds is the equivalence of pond scum!

I was really hoping this day wouldn’t come, but the train is coming down the tracks very quickly.  Barry Bonds currently has 712 home runs and needs two to tie Babe Ruth and three to pass the ultra legend.  The man is one helluva a baseball player and always has been well before the steroids era.  I know there will always be a huge cloud over all the records Bonds will or has achieved due to roids, but I hope more than anything else people remember the magnitude of his awful personality.  Barry is an absolute 100% A-HOLE and no matter what he does I will always tell my kids that he was VERY overrated and not worth his salt.
