When people started screaming to put asterisks on many of Barry Bonds homeruns, I thought that would be an isolated incident. Who knew that putting asterisks on Barry bonds homeruns was not an aberration in baseball but the beginning of a trend. This week the Mitchell Report, points the finger away from Barry Bonds record breaking homerun and points it to stars like Roger Clemens. What, the Rocket? At least now we know where he got his rocket fuel.
It appears that Barry Bonds homeruns were juiced from sports enhancing pumps that were not only being used by him. The Mitchell report names other players who are considered to be all-stars and that have been under the radar while our Barry Bonds Homeruns take all the heat. Well now the media has another sacrificial lamb for their feast. If we complain that Barry Bonds homeruns are tainted by the use of steroids then what about all those strikeouts that this All-American white pitcher had while being juiced up.
I mean, it's only fair that if we pounced on Barry Bonds record breaking homerun asterisk then its time to jump on the Rocket strikeout CY Young asterisk band wagon. There are other players named in the report like Miguel Tejada, but who cares about Tejada, he has not broken any records. Yes I think Barry Bonds homeruns should have an asterisk, but I am salivating, waiting to see of people cry out for strikeout asterisks and if they don't then Barry was right when he said that it was happening because he was black.
