Superb Bonds article

Yeah, yeah, I know there's been far too many Bonds articles and everybody's tired of them, but this one was too good to let pass. It brings up a great point that can really put things into perspective, and if you're a fan of baseball itself, chances are it will put a smile on your face. That being said, just ignore the poor writing:

"It's easy to forget with all of the money and media coverage surrounding Major League Baseball that the game cannot be defined by records, or individuals or even the league itself. Baseball is bigger than Bonds, Hank Aaron, Bud Selig and Cooperstown. We can marvel at the talent of great players but just because they play the sport better than the rest of us does not mean the fate of the game lies in their hands. We all have some claim to the spirit of baseball -- from the 6-year-old in her first T-ball game, to the pitcher on your company softball team, to the 250 or so minor league teams sprinkled around the country. Let the Greek tragedy that has become Barry Bonds keep his memorabilia. Those items belong to him. But baseball belongs to us. Steroids can cloud the record books but they can never cloud the joy that comes from grabbing a stick, a ball and a handful of your closest friends (or a group of absolute strangers) for a few innings."
