There's no need to get worked up about Bonds because he won't hold the record for long. Either Griffey (longshot) or A-Rod (almost sure thing) or both will break Bonds' record without the steroid taint.

Bonds was a great ball player who didn't need to cheat to be remembered as one of the best of his generation and of all-time. It was pure hubris that got him into steroids. Its fitting payback for his childish nature and ego that he's going to find that he squadered his place in history.
