Barry Bonds Sighting

a very odd occurrence happened yesterday in sports. not the 58 point win by the nuggets. barry bonds shows up to watch his former team at home verse the dodgers. with just over 30,000 in attendance most of the sports world only saw it on sports center. the lakers had most of california's attention monday night as they knocked out the jazz to move forward to the next round. innocent til proven guilty is a strong motto in this country and we have all washed our hands with bonds and the others from the steroid scandal. yes we want to protect our records from the only sport where records are even payed attention to. my problem is this... if bonds goes deep against a pitcher who was 'roided than who has the advantage? in a league where it would be safe to assume that most of the players were juiced than how tainted are the records? it leaves a sour taste in my mouth that the first sport i watched as a kid has this cloud of cancer over it. see'n bonds at the game last night was like a ufo sighting. with a father who played in the pros and a godfather as one of the top players to ever play the game, maybe its time to close the book on the steroid era and just say it is what it is and move on.
