Barry Bonds moved past Hank Aaron last night into the top spot on the all-time home run list.

The game stopped for a few minutes as Bonds hugged his family and Willie Mays and then the fans and Bonds were treated to a video message from Aaron.

Aaron, who last month responded badly to a question about Bonds, paid a great tribute to Bonds, and more important, the game with his kind comments.

I figure if Aaron can honor Bonds, then the rest of us should think the same way.

The baseball draft on TV was conducted very poorly. Instead of following the lead of the NHL or NFL, baseball had few if any of the players at the draft. Without the photos of the players holding the jerseys with the GM, what do you have? Nothing.
The Dale Earnhardt Jr. Sweepstakes will be heating up the next two weeks. I still like Ginn Racing in a surprise. … By the way, Visa denies that it is entering NASCAR, but that probably would be the only way for Junior to end up with Joe Gibbs Racing.
The Cavs need to be active in the offseason to get some more weapons for LeBron James and Mike Brown.
C.C. Sabathia is starting to look more and more like a Cy Young winner and like a very rich man. The Indians need to ride his arm this season to playoff success.
Is anyone watching the French Open?
Or the Belmont Stakes?
We already know few watched the Stanley Cup Finals.
I think I like Danica Patrick's chances in a fight with Dan Wheldon.
Has anyone seen Barry Bonds, I think he is missing.
Speaking of Bonds, it is time for Hank Aaron to stop commenting on the home run chase. He said last week that he wasn't sure how to spell Bonds' name. Now Hank, don't be stupid. Stay above this fray of steroids talk.
The U.S. Open is looking like it might have a winner near double figures over par, if the players are telling the truth after practice rounds at Oakmont C.C. in Pittsburgh. Watching Tiger Woods and the rest of his golfing mates struggle should make great TV.

I have told you all before the I was born, grew up and went to college in Pittsburgh, so when I say I know how you feel when the Browns can't seem to make any decisions correctly, remember that I have the Pittsburgh Pirates.

The Buccos haven't had a winning season since Barry Bonds bolted for San Francisco after his weak throw and an error by Jose Lind allowed the Atlanta Braves to go to the World Series in October 1992.

Just to drive that point home, here is a column today in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Barry Bonds hit his 739th home run Saturday. Are you folks mad, excited or carefree about his pursuit of Hank Aaron's record?

I thought that I would be more interested but, really, I think Bonds will break the record but that Alex Rodriguez will break it, possibly finishing his career with more than 800 home runs.
