Default Bonds Not chasing Record?

I had the Fan 960 on for about 20 seconds and had to run into home depot and turn off the radio. The interviewee was saying that Bonds is not pursuing a record. What does that mean? Does Babe Ruth not have a home-run record? me confused!

Barry Bonds is about to pass Babe Ruth's record of 714 home runs. The record was already beaten by Hank Aaron, who has 755 I think.

Yeah, Bonds is not chasing a record right now. Right now he is chasing second place.

I never heard the interview but I read a story (little while back) that Bonds said he was not after the record as he was still a long way from 755 and that his health (Knee's) was not great.

Bonds has a problem with white people and he has stated several times in the past that he just wants to beat Babe Ruth's record, and not Aaron's.

Bull.

He's also stated that he really wants to break Aaron's record.

Why would he marry a white woman if he had problems with white people?

Exactly. Barry doesn't have a problem with white people. He pretty much has a problem with 99% of all people.

no, he really does have a problem with white people. i used to live in boston and he came out and blasted the city for being racist, and then said he would never play in the AL so that way he wouldn't have to play at Fenway.

Fine. You said he "has a problem with white people".

And the link you provided doesn't say that.

Not looking for a fight. Not my style. But when you start tossing around accusations of someone being racist without anything to back them up you are going to be challenged on it.
