So Seamus, am I to believe you are not a Barry Bonds fan? LOL

Spaw, ol' buddy, you're right.
And as a diehard Red Sox fan for the last 30 years (there's 30 years off MY purgatory!) I know that Ted Williams never won a World Series ring. Now, he was not a particularly nice person when he was playing, and neither is Barry Bonds. Both truly great ballplayers, and eminently worthy of Hall of Fame enshrinement, but with all their records, homers, batting average etc., they didn't win the big one.
And I hope Barry never does.

PS Where's Fielding on this debate? I mean Rick, not glovework.
