It's a sick country...on the top of the heap in a barbarous world.
Henry Aaron is still the legit lifetime HR king.

I agree that Bonds cheated, as do all of these "better living through chemistry" freaks that dominate so many sports today. But I still gotta give the Babe credit for hammering out 60 in a shorter 154 game season and 729 lifetime, especially considering he did it on Booze and cigars. I put him above any of these modern day roid heads
