Major League Baseball is using specially marked baseballs when Barry Bonds comes up to bat. Barry Bonds breaking Hank Aaron’s home run record makes me really sad even though I don’t even care one fig about baseball; I’d rather watch my neighbors Ford rust.
This business of artificial identification on a baseball just seems to reinforce the whole artificialness of the Barry Bonds saga. The powers that be don’t want someone coming up with a fake ball when Barry and his chemicals power one over the fence. I don’t really know why. it seems very fitting to have a fake ball presented as witness to a fake record.
Sigh!!!!
