So does Barry Bonds retire after the season? - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

There are 11 games left in the season for the Giants.

Barry Bonds needs 7 homers to catch Babe Ruth, 8 to pass him for second all time.

On the off-chance that he does hit 8 in 11 games, does he retire at the end of the season? Or does he play another and try for Hank Aaron?

I say yes he retires, and good riddance as far as I'm concerned. I've enjoyed watching him over the years and he is by the far the best to come along in my generation (until A-Rod smashes all records in a few years), but Bond's records are tainted and he knows it.

I think he has enough respect for the game to leave Aarons record alone, but he would be more than happy to take second from the fat white guy from long ago.
