not me me me, Im sitting on about $4000 in Bonds high graded baseball cards, in which I have about $650 in it from some insightful mint card buying in the late early 90's. Then getting them graded (several PSA 10's). I need him to break these records and have people see him for the unreal superstar he really is. He also needs to get a happier image and make an attempt to reach the fans and media as he nears retirement. Its been like being able to watch BAbe Ruth these past 19 years. very special in my opinion. Changes the way a manager has to manage.

to have a shot to see Wayne, Jordan, and Bonds in their primes WOW WOW WOW.

I don't think Bonds cards will go up , even if he breaks it.

Ruth will always be the greatest player.

You were very very smart to get them PSA graded. Even though the price of his stuff has gone down, it is still more then your original investment simply because it is PSA Graded. If you spent $650 and the cards book for $4000, you'll probably clear at least $1000. Congrats try3

Hope the Cheater retires before he breaks the record, or at least STOPS there!

One could argue that anyone who played before the sport was integrated cannot be considered the best to play the game

But I wont

He doesen't get injured no way anyone stops him...the shot today was awesome...June through August this guy's going to be a beast. He says since the weather got a little warmer the knee has felt much better. He'll hit 40 without roids at 42...incredible.

How much will #'s 714 & 715 be worth? 100G on ebay?

To the fan who catches it, will it be finders keepers?
Or do they belong to Bonds?

Will Phily fans assualt each other fighting over them?

I should put a disclaimer, Ruth will always be considered the greatest player...

I would rank them like this;

Ruth first half of 20th century
Willie Mays 2nd half 20th century

I wish I could have watched them play...I only saw Mays when he was ancient.

My father was lucky enough to see Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson (the best pitcher of all-time) play! I think people forget that the Babe won like 83 games pitching and won three championships with the Red Sox! P.S. How many rings has Barry helped his team win?

Bonds "image" is completely dissolved and for the sake of this game right now lets pray this guy does not break Aarons mark ...

CC: Ruth with I believe 29 scoreless innings in the World Series and in a 2 yr stretch he pitched nearly 650 innings and GAVE UP TWO HOME RUNS

What is the big deal any way. Ruth has not had the record for 32 years!
What a joke ESPN has become. I see in their score scrawl they put Giants scores first (instead of in chronological order) because Barry Balco has some inane 'unreality' show with them!
When he wins 20 like Ruth I'll say he is as good, also. Aaron superior defensively to Bonds in his prime, also. And as for clutch hitting, see Bonds' performance in '90, '91,'92 play-offs(20 games in all) Around .150 with NO clutch hits as I recall.

I wonder why Ruth didn't pitch for the Yankees?

Doc: Walter Johnson once shut out the NY Yankees THREE games in a row on THREE consecutive days! All-time low for a season - 1.09 ERA! 109 shutouts. 400+ Wins. Too bad he pitched for the Senators!

P.S. If the Commissioner had any balls he would suspend Bonds immediately AFTER hitting #713!:puppy:
