If he were to accomplish the feat in another stadium, I hope he is booed mercilessly.

If I were to be in attendance at that game, I'd have a sign that says:

NO MATTER WHAT YOU DO, BARRY, YOU'LL NEVER EVAR MAKE ME FORGET ABOUT THE BABE AND HANK.

They'll have to celebrate it in low key style. I won't watch though. I'm tired of Barry Bonds.

For those who want it celebrated like Hammerin' Hank - just curious on your thoughts of the celebration of Maris versus McGwire.

Or even better: for those who would boo Barry, how many of you gave (or would have given) McGwire a standing O after he came back to St. Louis for the Busch II celebrations?

Bonds is 100x the arse that McGwire is.

How many home runs did he hit off juiced pitchers?
I hate the man, but he still could break the biggest record in the sport, and it should be recognized for the feat it is. Hank and Ruth are still the best in my eyes, especially Hank with all the bull sh** he had to live through.
