Has anyone else noticed all of the newfound awe that people have picked up for Barry Bonds since last night?
All I heard all morning on the sports yappers radio shows was "No one will ever come even close to acheiving the monumental feat of 500HRs and 500SBs because nobody steals bases anymore when you can play for the HR." Blah Blah Blah
To me this seems like a load of crap. Don't get me wrong, Bonds' accomplishment is tremendous and will be difficult to duplicate... but off the top of my head I can think of a guy who is going to give that "unreachable accomplishment" a run. That man is Alfonzo Soriano.
My point... how can something be "an unbreakable record" when I can think of a guy who has a great shot at doing it without even batting an eye?
You want an unbreakable record... Cy Young's 511 wins... the only record more unlikely to be broken then this might be his 316 losses.
The moral of this story... I am smarter then most guys on the radio.
