Should there be an asterik next to barry bonds name if he passes hank aaron?

If barry bonds breaks hank aaron's home run record, should there be an asterik next to his name to symbolize that he broke it during the steroids generation/era. What do others think?

Yes,only if its proven he used them(which I believe is true). I think he should be disqualified from holding the record if steroids were used.

Every era is different in Baseball. Does the Babe get an mention because the spitter was legal? Or even because the slider wasn't invented yet?

We don't KNOW Bonds broke the rules - he never failed a pee-pee test. And we don't know what Hammerin' Hank was doing back in the day - Drugs were in Baseball then as well, witness Jim Bouten's book Ball Four, written in '69. No, no asterisk, because he beat him.

Maybe more at bats, a different era, a different (somewhat) game. Sources: My answer .

1 In my opinion whining about someone doing steriods is a waste of time. An asterisk next to his name in this is nothing but whining about how you wish things were different, and whining without significant proof I might add. Bonds, regardless of him actually using steriods or not (and I'm not convinced) is a tremendous athelete.

He accomplished something steriods really had little do with him accomplishing even if he did do it. Home runs tend to require accuracy when hitting the ball, not just strength. Most of his home runs were not even remotely out of the park.

Pujols by comparison is putting Bonds to shame with what he's putting completely over the fence, into the upper deck and over the stadium if strength is your excuse for going after Bonds. The asterisk is nothing more but whining and a witch hunt, mostly associated with politicos who have much more important things to do than worry about what baseball is doing with it's players.

After all the outcry about Barry Bonds, the baseball public seems less outraged about the Roger Clemens' issue.

Barry Bonds is scheduled to go on trial next March......

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
