Re: [Marxism] Bonds Hits No. 756 to Break Hank Aaron's Record

[David Walters <dave.walters@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carrol, part of what you state is true. He was and is an astounding 
player. Probably among the top 5 for the last 15 years or so. I think 
most of the sophisticated critics acknowledge this. It's not a question 
of hitting .370. It's hitting .370 and then plopping upwards to .450 the 
next year that has people, the writers, the players, the fans all 
wondering. It was the step up, not quite the gradual increase in 
strength one normally associated with ball players. This is what the 
whole debate was/is about.

I have to say, though, that the fans themselves, everywhere, seem to 
have said, but their reactions this year "ok, fine, now let's more on." 
Good advice.

David
