#756

[GAVol]

Just left the building.

The scrum for the ball looks rough.

:banghead2: Atleast its over...

 

[GAVol]

Wow . . . after all the hand wringing, Hank Aaron was really gracious just now.

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

Well done, Barry. Well done.

 

[GAVol]

I'm glad he got it over with and did it at home. Now we can get on with things and hopefully get past this neverending debate.

Bonds:bad:

 

[tidwell]

Where were you when Bonds broke the all time HR record?

 

[volinbham]

Saw a replay of the scrum - that dude in the orange jersey dives over the pile about 30 seconds late!

 

[tidwell]

Man, I didn't mean to start a new thread. How'd I miss it? :wacko:

I actually felt happy for Barry just then.

I agree 100%. Aaron was as gracious as one could possibly expect. I owe The Hammer an apology.

 

[volinbham]

The last 5 days or so of baseball have seen some major accomplishments.

I wonder if any other 5 day stretch has as many?

Be pretty hard to top the all time HR and likely the last 300 game winner...

 

[volinbham]

And another 500 homer guy - A-Rod.

Did you know Aaron still holds the Major League record for RBI's and extra base hits? He was more then just a HR record, but that's what everyone remembers him for.

 

[tidwell]

I would've included that, but more guys will hit 500. I guess being the youngest to do it gives it more strength... but 756 and 300 are a step above that.

Did you know Aaron still holds the Major League record for RBI's and extra base hits? He was much more then just a HR record, but that's what everyone remembers him for.

Aaron also won a batting title and was approaching 4,000 hits.

I hear ya. Still, it is a milestone of major significance.

The best thing that could happen now for MLB is for Bud Selig to shutdown the Mitchell investigation, end the keystone cops charade and ensure that baseball has the best drug testing procedure going forward.

I guess it is a perfect combination. The biggest jerk in sports hits the ball to a fan of biggest LOSERS and SLIMEBALLS in sports!

Jim Calhoun hit a ball to an Auburn fan?

 

[StunnA N' Orange]

Where does your severe abhorrence for the Auburn fan base stem from? Just curious.

Ever been around a group of Auburn fans? They're Bammers but without as much tradition to fall back on.

Exactly. Remember, they think throwing toilet paper into trees is high culture.

 

[GAVol]

It's a fan base that instead of greeting each other with "How ya doin'?" instead says "Wahreegle".
