714: A Wonderful Life: Oakland Proud!!

I have been pulling for Barry from day one, to complete the mission and fulfill his destiny
as the Homerun King. It's so poetic that he would hit number 714 in the ball park
and city that I grew up in. I know every blade of grass on that field,
every spot of tobacco juice in the dug out and every taste of relish,
mustard and sauer kraut on the hotdogs. I know when the temperature will
drop to a cold winter breeze on a summer night and when the pop ups
change to homeruns from the bay winds. This is My house.

The Oakland Coliseum. The stomping grounds and heroics
of Mr. October (Reggie Jackson). Barry, thank you for blessing
my house. Perhaps a shadow of things to come. I'm so proud of the
Oakland A's fans. They showed class and respect as they honored
Barry with a standing ovation and a curtain call. The Bay Area.
We do our on thing and have our own thoughts. The historic
moment was received in the manner that all of baseball
should receive it. Number 714 hit in Oakland!
What a Wonderful Life indeed.
One bottle down, one to go.

Barry Bonds Fans: 3 Generations

Well, Barry did'nt do it today but then again yes he did. What Barry did
was bring excitement and thrills and sold out baseballs best and sexiest
ballpark.

The game was a classic, as the Giants came back in the bottom of the
ninth from 3 runs down, to beat the hated rival, "Los Angeles Dodgers".

My father and my boy's loved the anticipation of
history being made right before our very eyes.

We enjoyed the game with our friends the Conways
along with Googles David Lee and his lovely wife pictured here.

Baseball is truly a family sport. Long live the game!

Rule 714: ESPN

Major league baseball is making a mistake. Not celebrating 714 does more hurt to the game, than help. No one is asking MLB to be judge and jury. If you don't celebrate the second greatest achievement in baseball history, then number 3 (Babe Ruth) becomes a fading memory. Who cares about number 3?

The swing is the thing! Barry's beautiful swing combined with his laser eyes and hand speed are extraordinary. There are stronger players in the game, but they lack the skills of Barry. We are not celebrating are supporting the use of drugs. On the contrary, I am celebrating that swing, his skills and knowledge of the game.

Rule 714 ( don't celebrate are scapegoat) is going to bite baseball in the butt! Already the legend of the Babe is taking a beating. Now your (MLB) blatant attempt to protect the legend of a hitter who wasn't even the best in his time (Negro Leagues, Blacks were excluded from playing) is being called to the carpet by many. I like The Babe. I love and hate the Yankees. Love the tradition, hate when they beat my A's and love and respect George.

Set aside judgment, and celebrate the greatest feat in sports in the last 50 years.
Imagine if baseball had decided to support Barry Bonds.
The game would have won new fans and would be the hot topic of today, in a positive light. We can always debate performance enhancing drugs and who did or didn't take them and what affect it had on the numbers and the game. We then came decide the penalty and how to uniformly apply it.

However, what we are witnessing is once in a lifetime. Lets enjoy this magnificent achievement and allow the world to celebrate with us. Abandon Rule 714. Lift up the game! It's not too late. Go to the mound and make a change.

I tip my hat to ESPN. They are walking the tight rope with the best of them.
MLB should take notes. While it's clear they don't support Barry, they are
acknowledging and celebrating the moment in a way that only ESPN could do.
Masterful to say the least.

The Bonds on Bonds is fair and balanced. I couldn't believe that some analyst didn't want Barry to have a platform to offer another perspective of whom he is. That is typical of agenda driven journalism that will soon be replaced by community driven journalism that will offer the voice of the people, not these one sided attacks to create perception, that offer no counter perspective.

The executives at ESPN held to their guns and deserve accolades for their courage.
I applaud them and ESPN. Rule 714 has no place in sports reporting.

Now let me add a little more ice around these two bottles (714 and 715 respectively) that I will soon pop.

713 !!! Go Barry

With his lovely mother in attendance, Barry Bonds hit a majestic shot in Philly
that in spite of what came out of their mouths, (the sounds of shock and awe)
as a baseball fan you had to marvel at that beautiful, historic, explosive swing
and ponder the thought of how could a man who only sees two hittable pitches
a game have the patience and eye to select the pitch that he could drive out the
park and then execute it. Steroids can't do that. By the way I'm recruiting a bunch
of gym rats all confessed steroid users and I'm starting a new major league team,
any chance we'll win a game? Forget about it!

I'm proud of the strength of Barry's Mom as she sits and endures
the hate and envy that is showered on her son and yet she maintains
her poise and dignity. I know her heart hurts for her son and wonders
why he has been made the major league scape goat. I want her to know that
I am preparing to celebrate 714 and 715. I will pause and acknowledge how
far we have come as a country. I will remember the civil rights activist
and Dr. King. Jim Crow and gentrification will cross my mind. I'm a child
of the sixties so I've lived through a unique period in American history.
I will think of Jackie Robinson, Willie Mays and Hank Aaron.
Then will come a giggle and a laugh as I see the Babe's face.
The Babe and I will have a good laugh together because the Babe
lived life to the fullest and he would have grabbed a couple of women,
a six pack of beer and a half dozen steaks and invited
Barry out for a night on the town. The Babe loved hitters.
Barry Bonds is arguably, the greatest hitter ever!

National Day Of Prayer

Just finished hosting and speaking at our local "National Day Of
Prayer". The theme this year for the Nation is "America Honor God". The
scripture is 1 Sam 2:30 .. Those Who Honor Me, I will Honor. I invite
and challenge you all to define the word "honor" and then apply it to
"Honoring God" as this is key to God "Honoring" us.
