George Will Quotes
(Barry) Bonds' records must remain part of baseball's history. His hits happened. Erase them and there will be discrepancies in baseball's bookkeeping about the records of the pitchers who gave them up.

Besides, the people who care about the record book - serious fans - will know how to read it. That may be Bonds' biggest worry.
