DD. I don't understant the writers point here........ For the sake of Aaron, those former players must tell Bonds he must announce his retirement after he passes Ruth on the all-time list. Why should he pass Ruth? Ruth could hit a ball drunk. So is anyone going to tell me someone who enhances their ability should be allowed to pass up an alcoholic? No way. Takes more skill to hit them out with a hangover or being drunk. The key here is Ruth wasn't cheating. Being dumb yes. But not a CHEAT!!!
