Congratulations Barry Bonds!

Ah, Baseball ....

Something that only seems to be popular in the US - never really understood it much, allthough I gather a 'home run' is when you go all the way round in one go ?

I'd pay big money to see the best Rugby team in the world play football against the any NFL Team lol.. I still don't get why people insist on comparing the two against each other. They are different sports period.

back on topic tho.. Barry who? oh, you mean the dude that had to cheat to reach a mile stone. Yah.. congrats cheater.

damn american football.. they even NEVER play with their feet (ok, once of twice per match)... i suppose it's the american dream!

when you go on Barry Bond's official website, there is a video of the last homerun he made...

ok, when it's an exploit, maybe... but they post a video of each of his homerun... they update that count each day (ok, the front page is not updated that quickly)...

this is selfishness and arrogant... like a serial killer who shoot his victims and post each of them on the net...

and when that guy hit the ball 200 feets away from the stadium, do you seriously think it's human ?!... the stadium was built way larger than any human capacity to hit that far...

Ahh, i always thought a homerun was when everyone went back home after the game was finished.

American football was developed over the years from Rugby (or a game played like Rugby...can't remember). Over the years the rules were modified/added for one reason or another.

Read up on the history of American football if you ever get time...it's really interesting stuff.

As for baseball I can't stand watching it but I did play on a few teams as a kid. Still love playing...just hard to find enough people that are willing to these days.

Paul/Marco; A home run is made when the player up to bat hits the ball "out of the park". If the bases are loaded (a player is on 1st, 2nd, and 3rd) and the person up to bat hits a home run then it's called a "Grand Slam".

O and if you think we love this sport you outa check out some Japanese baseball games lol.

Lol Brad.

Thought you knew us good enough not to take that bait and give a serious answer to it.
