Umm, ....now that you've brought up the ultimate scenario/reason for Arod to "reconsider" his decision to retire, why wouldn't or shouldn't he try to hook up with some team if he needed 10-15 HRs to break Bonds' record? Pardon me if I sound silly and naive but imo Bonds was also a "cheater" (and a racist mutt), and just as big of a skumbag as Arod ever was.
Or, to put it another way →fuck Bonds!
By the way, just for a nip of perspective and for the heck of it-
Last year Arod became the only player in MLB history to hit at least 30 HRs as a 20 year old and 40 year old.
I can't prove it but- it wouldn't surprise me if Arod was clean from ROIDS last year and when he was a 20 year old Mariner.
Ah shit, now ya got me thinking about this tainted all-time HR record.
Take it easy on me fellas, but as I've said: fuck Bonds
