I heard the news reported on TV when I was cozy in the bed this morning. It was shocking news but I wasn’t surprised very much. I thought it has done finally.
Barry Bonds, who holds two of baseball’s most cherished records, was indicted in San Francisco today on four counts of perjury in connection with his testimony about his use of performance-enhancing drugs.
He was also indicted on one count of obstruction of justice. The charges stem from his testimony to a federal grand jury in December 2003 when he denied knowingly taking steroids. (The Newyork Times)
To be honest, I don’t respect his run record not because I fear he will break the 868 homerun record of Sadaharu Oh, but because of the suspicion. However I think Bonds was one of the best baseball player of all time. Whether he juiced up or not. So it is a very sad story all the more if he did…
Hideki Matsui, who is the best Japanese slugger, hit only 31 home-runs at one season in the Major league but I don’t feel gloomy. Looking back to the 1980s’ peaceful MLB, his record isn’t bad very much.
I was excited the home-run race between Mcgwire and Griffy, Mcgwire and Sosa in 90s’, of course. However there is something vague feeling left in my mind now…
I think ‘medium size’ baseball in which they can win the title with 40 home-run and more is better.
