It's not the public tossing A-Rod's name around. It's Jose Conseco. The man that got this thing blown up the way it is now. People "boo" Bonds and have their little "*" signs. But, you know what....they're in the bleachers watching it happen. This is GREAT for the the Greatest game on earth. I don't care what anyone says. And yes, I hope A-Rod passes him. IF...He stays healthy, he should. People who REALLY love the game of baseball are enjoying this. Because look at what we have got to witness so far in the last few years. The Sammy and Mark HR Chase with McGwire breaking Maris's HR Record. Then Bonds pasing that one as well. The Angels, White Sox and RED SOX winning the World Series. Nolan Ryan throw No-Hitters like no other. Ricky Henderson & Vince Coleman swiping bases like you will NEVER see again. I mean baseball fans have been blessed in the last 30 years and I for one am loving it.

I haven't quite been around to enjoy baseball for 30 years, more like k19, but I'm a HUGE fan of the game and all the excitement it brings. Even the oldest fan feels like a kid when they talk about baseball. I remember watching McGwire and Sosa revive baseball during the post-strike era as they chased Marris' single season HR record. I remember watching Ripken trot around Camden Yards after the 5th inning of his 2,131st consecutive game. I get chills watching clips of Mazeroski's HR in 1960, and highlights of the tremendous post-season played by the 2004 Boston Red Sox. This game is great...for America, for the fans, and for the little kid in us all. You've got to love baseball.

"The one constant through all the years...has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It has been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game: it's a part of our past... It reminds of us of all that once was good and it could be again." -Terence Mann, "Field of Dreams"
