parisisstale Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I just found out about this like an hour ago You're lucky. The whole thing was a joke. Anyone else think that someone had a gun to Aaron's head during that video? Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 I heard he has a class rating of .57687 over the past few weeks. I always get mixed up though, bobbonerd, is that all-star level? Actually, Class Rating is a counting stat, so a higher number is better. Jeez, don't you know anything? Link to post Share on other sites

uncle wilco Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 You're lucky. The whole thing was a joke. Anyone else think that someone had a gun to Aaron's head during that video?did hank aaron even mention barry's name or was this just a video to be played if his record was ever to be broken. (?) "i'd like to congratulate (insert name here) for breaking my homerun record." at least barry didn't grab the mic and go rickey henderson. "today...i'm...the GREATEST...." this *record means nothing to me now. i did a book report on hank aaron in 3rd grade and he remains my first sports hero and will always be the home run champ. o.j. was my second, but i don't want to talk about that anymore.

bobbob1313 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Actually, contrary to popular belief, Hank Aaron will not always be the home run king, inasmuch as "home run king" implies that he hit the most home runs, which is obviously not true. Bonds may or may not be a better hitter than Aaron (though, he undoubtebly is), and he may or may not be a better person (though, he undoubtebly isn't), the fact remains, whether people like it or not, he is the "home run king". Because he's hit more home runs than anyone in the world. Link to post Share on other sites
MrRain422 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Except for Sadaharu Oh. And maybe Josh Gibson. Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Obviously they don't count because they didn't play in MLB. Duh. Actually, if Gibson had been allowed to play in the majors, we probably wouldn't have had to wait very long for Ruth's record to be broken. Link to post Share on other sites

tongue-tied lightning Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 so, in years to come people will forget about steroids, and Bonds will be looked upon like Ruth & Aaron ? Link to post Share on other sites
bobbob1313 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 People seem to (mostly) forget that Ruth played against players who weren't the best available. People seem to (mostly) forget that Ty Cobb stabbed a black dude for being "uppity". People seem to forget that Willie Mays used amphetamines. People seem to forget that just about every pitcher in baseball has probably used some form of the shine ball or spit ball at some point in their career. But then again, people can't seem to get over the fact that Jim Rice was kind of a dick, so maybe they won't forget that about Bonds. Who knows. But I don't think 70's years from now people are going to be nearly as mad about Bonds as they are now. His record will have been broken a couple of times over, and he'll have been eclipsed, most likely. Link to post Share on other sites

c53x12 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 did hank aaron even mention barry's name or was this just a video to be played if his record was ever to be broken. (?) He did congratulate Bonds by name, but the dull monotone of his speech (which I only heard on the radio) did make it seem like a gun was pointed at his head. Link to post Share on other sites
