This letter is associated with the following article:
Baseball commissioner Bud Selig needs to be there when Barry Bonds makes home run history -- and rise above the race issues that color Bonds in the public eye.
  • Absolutely Absurd

    This article is absolutely absurd. The issue with Bonds is not that he's black. What taints Bonds and makes people and fans dislike him is the fact that he achieved something dishonestly over someone who achieved the same thing honestly.

    Race is not an issue in this matter I believe. If it was the case then why is it that Hank refuses to be there when Bonds overcomes his record? Race.. Please. It seems to me that Mr. Tolan is a Bonds appologist looking for a reason as to why Bonds should be vindicated whenever he steals the record from Hank. If sports casters, the one's who should really only have an opinion on this matter, feel that Bonds is not getting his due credit because he's black should quit their day job.
