07:31 AM ET 07.29 | One by one, the Hall of Famers playing in the annual golf tournament stepped off the tee Saturday and were asked about Barry Bonds' pursuit of Hank Aaron's career home run record. Almost immediately, they winced. It didn't matter if they were critics or defenders of Bonds, who moved within one of Aaron by hitting No. 754 Friday night. Nobody, it seems, enjoys discussing Bonds, the record he's about to break and what he might have done along the way. "We're at the Hall of Fame," Johnny Bench said rather gruffly, beginning to walk away from a reporter as he spoke. "He's going to break it, and then Alex is going to break his. "Harmon Killebrew had perhaps the most amusing response, providing this solution with a deadpan expression: "We should just shoot him." Keep in mind he was smiling as he said that and punctuated it with a hearty laugh. But then he became serious and said, "There's so much controversy around it right now that it's hard to know what to say about it. Obviously, he's going to break the record."
