Let the questions mount

As Barry Lamar Bonds rose his hands in triumph, an entire nation began to wonder.

Sports' biggest achievement has now turned into history's biggest question.

Bonds may be able to sleep soundly, now that he uprooted Hank Aaron as the all-time home run king. However, this bout isn't even close to being over and judging from Bud Selig's expression after No. 755, there's still a lot of ground to cover. As Bonds tied Hammerin' Hank, Selig stood in a cocoon of disappointment and doubt. He didn't stand to recognize the blast until fans around him practically prodded him to stand, which he did, with his hands housed in his pockets.

This issue isn't about race. Anyone that thinks that is just plain wrong. Bonds and Aaron were both black.

No, this is about doing things the right way. It's about injecting yourself with enough animal hormone to sprout horns. It's about using your infinite amount of money for research and development of the cream and the clear which are undetectable by the most refined tests. It's about facing the Grand Jury and lying to their face about unknowingly taking steroids.

But these questions won't go away for Bonds. Just because ESPN reporter Pedro Gomez is being pulled from his three-year Bonds beat doesn't mean this thing is dying down.

In the end, what did Bonds prove? He proved that for one night, baseball can be compared to the WWE. Bonds and wrestling both have bowling balls popping out of their arms and what's more important is that it's all just a dramatic show.

Last night, after Bonds hit the homer, he quickly raised his hands before trotting around the bases. He then apparently broke down as he looked to the sky to honor his father Bobby, who wouldn't have been able to recognize his behemoth son anyway.

The entire Bonds saga is just too good to be true. Seventy-three homers at age 36, an increasing head size and the fits of rage.

Bonds may be the new home run leader, but his legacy will be remembered as the drama king.
