What about the records that have been set because the number of games in a season increased?

exactly.. McGwire was juiced too but he was a fvcking "hero"when he was chasing 61... How many of Sosa's HRs came off of corked bats?

Ruth's record was eclipsed decades ago.. What i'm dying to see is what happens when Bonds nears Aarons record... crickets I bet, it'll be a footnote.

who cares about second place being passed...

Everyone who says this is naive.

Also, seems to me that only the black "cheaters" get crapped on, BTW. (And, no, you do NOT want to get into this argument with me - think Gaylord Perry for starters.)

Hockey FTW.

Theyre ALL cheaters...we suspected mcgwire and sosa might be juicing, but we KNOW Bonds is/was juicing.

Every single one of them should be thrown out of the record books, or at the very least, have a very large asterisk next to their name. It is absolutely shameful that the MLB is not willing to stand up for its own integrity and allow cheaters to break the records of true baseball heroes.

And the MLB wonders why no one cares about their games anymore.

And you are the epitome of mouthy punks who take a big game but in reality is just a mousey little turd. Spit on any person, especially an Athlete, and I'm sure you'd get the beat down of your miserable life.

Guess you've never been to Boston, New York, Chicago, St Louis and many of the other cities where it's hard to get a ticket to the game. In fact attendance is up in MLB, a lot of that has to do with Bobds chasing the HR Record.

I live in NY, I know how hard it is to get yankee tickets. But there are very few teams that are the exception to the rule. Bleacher yankee tickets arent THAT hard to get, but Knicks or Rangers tickets are downright impossible.

I wouldnt call baseball america's pastime anymore. Too many strikes, prima donna cheating overpaid bad role model athletes, high ticket prices, games twice as long as they need to be, etc

I know the MLB doesnt want to do anything about the steroid problem because juiced HR hitters like bonds and mcgwire bring in the dough, but that doesnt make it any less shameful. Even though its just a game and I recognize that, the MLB letting these cheaters break the records of the true heros is almost enron-like in irresponsibility. Throwing away integrity and tarnishing the image of an entire sport for short term profits....sure sounds like a winning and honorable strategy for me.

That's kinda interesting cause the Yankees are better in their sport than the Knicks and Rangers are in theirs. Furthermore, the freaking Knicks sell out every game?? WTF!!

People care more about basketball (in NYC at least), not to mention there are less games and less seating.

What's America's favorite game now, Football" Nah there's no cheating going on there (well except that steroid abuse is/was much more prevalent than in any other sport) good Role Models (ya hear that T.O., Ray Lewis, the whole Vikings team, Ricky Williams and Ray Caruth), inexpensive tickets (if you consider $100 per ticket inexpensive), etc.

I'm not saying baseball is alone here with steroid abuse, but they are certainly quite flagrant about it, and are well in the public eye, and yet do little, and even that little incredibly begrudgingly. Football players might be juicing, but there is no big news about a known juicer breaking the record of arguably the sport's most famous player.

"We do it cause everyone else does it" is as a poor excuse for an entire sport than it is for a single player, if not even more so.

I still have a soft spot for baseball in my heart, but I could care less about the current crop and the current state of the game.
