Bottom Of The Barrel

The day after Barry Bonds broke Hank Aaron's 33 year old all-time home run record, I received this by email:
Luckily within the next 5 years it won't matter much how you feel about Bonds and how he allegedly obtained this record because last week Alex Rodriguez became the youngest player to reach 500 home runs [a record that has stood for almost 70 years] and, if he stays healthy, should well surpass Bonds. There only 2 active players ahead of him - Sammy Sosa at 604 and Ken Griffey, Jr. at 589 however they are both 2 years older and are in the twilight of their respective [and hall of fame worthy] careers.

I guess this finally gives many of us a reason to actually root for A-Rod to hit more A-Bombs.
