Barry does it, can we go back to normal life now?

Barry Bonds finally hits home run number 756. I am in some ways relieved that it is over. Maybe now we can get back to more positive things. This has been the worst nightmare for baseball as a sport: a player breaking one of the biggest records in baseball and instead of the talk being about how incredible this is, the talk is instead about steroids and a Commissioner that has failed to do anything. While Barry Bonds has not actually tested positive for steroids, in the court of public opinion, he is guilty. So even though he now holds the record, there will always be an asterisk next to that record in people's minds. In my opinion, it doesn't matter in the long run. He will hold the record for the next 6 or 7 years and then A-Rod will break it. My thinking is, give Barry his day and then move on. It is time to focus on the more positive things going on in baseball like Glavine's 300th career win and A-Rods 500th career home run.
