Time to quit, Barry

Mike Celizic, who I normally don't have much use for, hits it right on the head when it comes to Barry Bonds and his chemically-enabled pursuit of baseball's home run record.

Celizic urges Bonds to quit. Use any excuse you choose, Bar - knees haven't recovered, eyesight is failing, tired of the press, whatever. Just quit. Don't insult the game by continuing to pursue Hank Aaron's 755 homers.

I totally agree. I don't want to watch Bonds break Aaron's record. Of course, if he plays an entire season, he will and there will be nothing MLB can do about it.

I hope Bonds finds it within himself to take the high road. However, as Celizic points out, there's nothing in Bonds' history to indicate that he will.
