The historic mark: Ruth's homerun record

715 is only a number for most people. Avid baseball fans know different. Everyone around the game is so anxious for the Babe's record to be broken. This is a elite Hall of Famer who is idiolized and considered one of the best homerun hitters in history. The wave of controversy surrounding the whole Barry Bonds investigation seems to be put on hold while the baseball world marvels at exciting possibilities as well as who will be the next great player etched into the record books.

Despite the issues with steroids or allegations clouded over Bonds the most notable achievements such as the homerun record should be given proper recognition and honor. The problem still is will the record be tarnished if Bonds does indeed surpass Hank Aaron's mark. Of course he will breeze by Ruth, only needing a couple more homeruns to do so. I just want to see Major League Baseball keep or restore a level of intregity that it deserves.
