Congratulations, Mr. Bonds; no asterisk.
P.S. If you want to hold onto your record for a significant amount of time, Mr. Bonds, you'd better hit a whole lot more of them, because there's a guy that's only 200 and change home runs behind you and he's quite young.
If someone insists on an asterisk, then put one next to Ruth
*Never had to face the Satch or any of the other hot Negro League pitchers.

Excellent point.

Ok, I insist on an asterisk, actually two asterisks: one for his being a steroid user (in which case, the whole thing is a sham); and secondly, he's an arrogant a$$hole relative to George Herman Ruth, Roger Maris, Pete Rose, et al.

Oh, Joe. Go read up on the Babe. And I bet you could even find dirt on Pete. You want false modesty, I'll loan you some of mine.

OT-Baldilocks, I know you from Hot Air, and visit your blog. I noticed a few day's ago your new icon. From the pictures I saw of you before your upgrade of your blog, there seems to be something missing or rather present on your new logo. I took it upon myself to fix it for you and make the logo a little more personal for you. You can check them out and copy them if you like, at my blog on my about page. If you want to keep the one you have its no problem with me. I tried to mail them to you but they came back. My blog

PS also every time I visit your blog in the last couple days, I am getting a "Microsoft Internet Explorer Operation aborted" message that redirects me to a "The page cannot be displayed page and it takes 3 or 4 tries before it lets me on. This may be the cause of slow traffic to your blog. I don't think it is on my end, just thought you would like to know, you might want to check it out if you have been having problems

AA: Check your email. The site access problem might be an IE issue. I have no problems (recently) getting to it in Firefox.
