Bond's Homeruns

What is there about Barry Bonds that makes so many people care about whether he hits another home run or not? It, much like everything else covered today by the media, is hype. This bullshit sells papers, magazines, TV ads and so on. Why do we fall for it?

Hank Aaron will always be the HR champ to me, until someone manages to break it again, probably A-Rod will do it in a few years and all this crap put up by Bonds and the media will all be forgotten. Why do we do it? Because that's all there is to read, watch and so forth.
