This week in Baseball
August 11th, 2007The record books were rewritten again this week in baseball. The main spotlight was on Barry Bond and his steroid induced home run record. Thank God it’s over. I for one am tired of seeing his name. Hank Aaron is still the king in my book. That may of course change as long as Alex Rodriguez is still playing. The youngest player ever to hit 500 will surely pass Bonds as long as he stays healthy.
The top feat of the week was Tom Glavine getting win 300. Tom is the finest example of a professional athlete in baseball. He is a real man that doesn’t need the spotlight to shine on him. He just manages to go to the mound and do his job season after season. I just heard in 20 season he has never been on the disabled list. That alone is a remarkable accomplishment in sports today. I am a Philadelphia Philles fan and have seen him pitch many times. You have to respect the man even if he is on the opposing team. The rest of the players should follow his example as a professional.
