04:04 AM ET  08.03 | When Barry Bonds finally ties and eventually breaks what is said to be the most popular record in all of sports, Aaron's homerun record, it will be controversial.  To the majority of sports fans it will be the most controversial breaking of a record in the history of baseball and quite possibly the history of sports.  Players, excluding the outspoken Schilling, have all expressed the same baseball politics b.s. that "you are innocent until proven guilty" when it comes to Bonds.  I don't buy it, everyone is suspicious of Bonds.  Bonds is a villian of America's past time.  He is a downright bad role model for anyone and everyone that watches the game.  He has a disturbingly retched and indifferent attitude about life.  So why should Bonds break the record in San Francisco?  He shouldn't.  It would be a lie to have him on film breaking Aaron's hard earned record with his "fans" chanting "Barry! Barry!" and a game stopping celebration given to him by the Giants organization.  All I hear on television and read in the papers is that "the record needs to be broken at home or it will be a monumental disaster for the legacy of baseball."  But this isn't baseball's fault.  Baseball is a wonderful sport, my favorite, and Bonds is nothing more than an irritating stain on the legacy of Major League Baseball.  And that is fine with me because Bonds did what he had to do.  During the summer of 1998 he watched Sosa and McGwire pursue Roger Maris's record of the single season homerun mark.  More insecure than ever, Bonds decided he needed to gain more national recognition so he began taking steroids.  He was a great ball player when all of this happened, he would have been the only player in history to hit 500 homeruns and 500 stolen bases without the steroids.  Bonds has always had problems off of the field and this probably only added to his desire to gain more recognition.  Ironically almost a decade later, he is the most widely discussed baseball player, but for all the wrong reasons.  However I find it interesting while Bonds started using steroids in order to gain viewers and get the media to notice him more, he boycotts fans and avoids reporters at all costs.  The reason for this change of heart is that Bonds knows that he failed to accomplish what he set out to do.  He did want the attention, the fans, the media, but not this way, not as a controversial villian of baseball.  He knows it and I know that he knows it.  Bonds without the steroids or even the possibility of steroids would have been a great baseball player, maybe the best.  I would have never thought he was a great guy off the field but on it he was and could have been always been a great baseball player in a legitimate fashion.  Now he is about the break a record he does not deserve and if he breaks it in San Francisco he will not deserve the ovation he receives.  He is an over the hill, teammate alienating, selth loathing, socially challenged lowlife who doesn't even deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence as Hank Aaron.  Aaron was a ballplayer I wish I could have grown up watching like I enjoyed watching Ripken and Gwynn, two guys who were elected to the Hall of Fame only days ago.  When they gave their speaches, fans at Cooperstown cheered and viewers tuned into watch and even if you were a young boy who had never seen either Ripken or Gwynn before and had no idea who either of them were, you would gather from that day that they were well liked across America.  And they were and will always be, while Bonds will not.  If Bonds "breaks" the homerun record in San Francisco and that same little boy 30 or more years from now sees the video of Bonds jogging around the bases they wont notice the smug look on in his face as he slowly trots around the bases in his oversized and sloppy looking uniform, they will notice the fans, cheering "Barry! Barry!" and that is wrong.  Not only for baseball fans but for people in the future to see.  People should know who Barry Bonds was, a classless loser who threw away a stellar career filled with eye popping statistics for the chance to be as loved as McGwire and Sosa.  I am not saying either McGwire or Sosa are clean themselves but that summer of '98 was driven by more than just homeruns, it was driven by their personalities.  McGwire's sense for the game's history by embracing the Maris family the night he broke the record and Sosa being equally classy by embracing McGwire's ability to beat him to 62 homeruns.  As far as power statistics go in baseball, the last two decades will always have a dark cloud cast over them and that is unfortunate.  But it is the truth and the future deserves the truth, not a lie.  I want Bonds in Philadelphia rounding the bases with nothing but clearly recognizeable "Boos!" not to be confused with either part of his name.  I want that group of people to make another sign reminding Bonds that the legends of the game were legitimate in their pursuit of records.  I want the 2008 season to start without Bonds in any lineup, with an asteric next to the final amount of homeruns he hits.  I want the future to see a video of Aaron overcoming racism and doubters to break Ruth's record.  And then I want to throw in the video of Bonds "breaking" Aaron's record and for someone to ask "What did he do?" so the real history of the game can be properly explained.
