Barry Bonds finally smacked the homer that broke Babe Ruth’s revered tally. Umpires immediately checked his bat for the presence of steroids.
Bonds, who has often been accused of employing the performance enhancers but never convicted of the practice, was both cheered and jeered as he rounded the bases.
Since he has never been convicted of taking steroids, one wonders if all the accusations are unjustified.
If we actually believe someone is innocent until proven guilty, we ought to let him rerun the bases in our imaginations and give the slugger the hand he deserves.
