Back in August 2007, baseball fans saw a lot of history.
Barry Bonds tied hank Aaron. He passed Aaron the next night.

Will the fans accept the new record? Probably not.
Yet, you can not dispute what Bonds has done:
"The Giants slugger has won 7 MVP awards, a major league record. He has the 5th highest career slugging percentage in baseball history, and the 6th highest career on base percentage. For the combination of the two, the SLOB or OPS, Bonds rank 4th for his career. Bonds has the 3rd lowest number of at bats per home run in baseball history." (Is Barry Bonds Baseball's Greatest Slugger? by Richard Baehr)
It's a bigger shame that Hank Aaron's record was broken by someone with such a controversial story.
