Major League Baseball Has A New Home Run King in Barry Bonds

Whether fans across the country support Barry Bonds or loathe him, one thing is certain, Bonds is the new home run king in major league baseball, and will remain that way until Alex Rodriguez, or another player, passes him.

Bonds had a hot bat all night on Tuesday against the Washington Nationals as he entered his third at bat 2-2 already on the game. Seven pitches into his third at bat, Bonds made history by sending a 3-2 pitch over the right center field wall, the deepest part of the ballpark.

If there's one thing Bonds should be commended for amid all of the controversy that surrounds him, its the fact that he fought through all of the criticism and claimed his spot among the legends of the game of baseball.

Whether fans believe Bonds took steroids or not, the facts are that even had he not reached this momentous milestone, he still has, and had, one of the best swings in major league history.

Bonds has more than a handful of gold glove awards to go along with his home run records and MVP's. He now holds the home run record for both a single season, and a career.

There is no doubting that Bonds has created the bed that he will eventually sleep in, but for this one night, whether met with criticism or not, Bonds is the king of the baseball world, and has broken one of the most storied records in all of sports.

And for that, true baseball fans must applaud for an evening, before moving on to their ridiculing ways.
