There will be no asterisk next to his homerun count that says:
700 HR*
*Big asshole
Who cares. I respect the guy and the fact that he doesn't bow down to the media. He's a private guy. He also happens to be very blunt and downright rude about it, but damn, the man has hit 700 homeruns. I give him props for not altering his personality to make everyone happy.
I am a big Barry Bonds fan. Would I want to hang out with him? Probably not, but I can at least respect what he did without throwing out a weak caveat like, "But he's a prick."
