I know most of you don't care, since the popular opinion is Bonds is juiced, but its a magnificint accomplishment anyways IMO. He did it tonight at home against San Diego, the team he has hit the most homeruns against over his career.

I don't care about the allegations of Bond's being juiced. This guy is one of the most intriguing and entertaining athletes around. I'm fascinated by his ability to put up these numbers despite only seeing the odd good pitch.

And when I really think about it, and keep in mind I am a baseball nut, I consider myself lucky to have seen what I saw tonight. Only the 3rd man ever, in the history of the game to do this...and it will likely never happen again. Aaron, Ruth, Bonds. thats legendary.

700* is a remarkable accomplisment even though he is juiced.
