I wish I could be happy about this guy about to pass Hank Aaron on the Home Run list, but I have a hard time with it.
I have tried a few times to like Bonds and he has always made it so damn hard to like him. And then it seems so obvious that he was a steroid user. It dilutes what he is accomplishing. Because I dont think for Aaron did those things. Aaron was breaking the record when I was awfully young (7), but he always seemed likable and humble back then. Bonds doesnt seem like he goes out and brags, but he never appears likable. He always looks angry and leave me alone looking.
Im sure with all he has been through over the years, you can half way forgive a player for being like that from time to time. But he has never seemed to work on his image...and that keeps me from liking him. More than the steroids deal (because there are so many who have done it by now that it is hardly a story anymore)....but mainly because he just hasnt tried to be fan friendly.
I really want to be happy on his accomplishment, but I cannot. Him passing Aaron ends up making me feel sorry for Aaron.
