Say it ain't so, Barry!

However controversial it may have been, Barry Bond's 765th home run was a benchmark in sports history. Bonds hit a 435-yard bomber out of AT&T Park - off the pitcher whose father had stopped Hank Aaron from hitting that mark in 1976. Now the ball is headed to the Hall of Fame with an asterisk, and the Mitchell Report has cast doubt on more home runs than just Bonds'.

This report was contained in the 21 December Guardian in a review of top American sports stories of 2007. If Barry Bonds hit a 435 yard home run then it removes any doubt about him being 'juiced' on steroids!
