Barry Bonds took Hank Aaron’s home run record last night against the Washington Nationals. Woohoo! Hip Hip Hooray!
Eh. I tried to drum up enthusiasm. The truth is, I’m not a fan of baseball, and I’m not a fan of Barry Bonds, who, as pop culture and sports icon, leaves much to be desired in the way of personality and moral fiber.
Still, even I am not so insulated from the sporting world that I don’t get that the home run record is kind of a big deal.
Well, that’s that. No more baseball talk until people want to resurrect the “where are all the black players” dialogue again.
