Leaving a Legacy
Aug. 9, 2007
I wish I was excited about this record

I love baseball.  I used to really enjoy watching it, now, it's just when I have time and a chance, but I do love the sport.  However, Barry Bonds just passing Hank Aaron's has left me very disappointed.  This isn't so much because of baseball, but because of the culture.

We don't know whether Mr. Bonds used steriods or not, but it is generally accepted that he has.  However, there has been no challenge to this record, no checking whether he gained it legitimately.  He just did it.  It makes me wonder what we are teaching our children, especially our sons.  Are we teaching them that it doesn't matter how you succeed as long as you do?  That's what has happened with Mr. Bonds.  ARe we just telling our sons that cheating is ok.  It didn't matter how he got there, he just did.  That's why I am disappointed in this record.

Nov. 16, 2007 - Role Models

Posted by djbartch

I'm sure you've seen he's been indicted. It is very sad that the people our kids (especially boys) look up to are not good role models. I'm glad to see a man on here encouraging other men to be good role models. Thanks!
