Listening to Bud Selig's interview yesterday with Dan Patrick it was evident even over the airwaves that the commissioner is incredibly uncomfortable with this situation. He's also incredibly upset that Bonds is going to be breaking his good friend Hank Aaron's record.Finally, Selig has made a decision about his whereabouts on the night Barry Bonds breaks the record (I'm still holding out hope he doesn't, can't help it). Bud will be there.
That's the right decision. It's still a record, despite the steroid use. He know about Mark McGwire and he was present, so he should be there for Barry Bonds.Baseball's greatest power hitter and its greatest power wielder have been engaged in a behind-the-scenes cold war for weeks. But not too long from now, Bonds and Selig will be together, face-to-face and celebrating the new home run record and champion.
Well, one of them will be celebrating, anyway. The other fellow -- yes, the commish -- will be wearing a plastic smile to mark the occasion he was desperately hoping would never happen.
SI.com has learned that barring something unforeseen and drastic, Selig plans to be there when Bonds breaks the all-time home run record of Selig's longtime friend and Milwaukee mate Hank Aaron.
