MLB to Bonds: Pass Hank First, Then We'll Call You Great

Barry Bonds passing Babe Ruth's baseball record is nothing.

At least that's what Major League Baseball (MLB) thinks.

''Hank Aaron broke Babe Ruth's record,'' MLB Commissioner, Bud Selig said. ''We don't celebrate anybody the second or third time in,'' he added.

Apparently, the MLB is not planning any celebrations for the controversial Barry Bonds if the Giants slugger overtakes Babe Ruth's 714 home runs.

Bonds has been accused of steroids use for several seasons now and that has definitely overshadowed Bonds' chase for baseball immortality this year. In the book, ''Game of Shadows,'' it details allegations against him.

A federal grand jury is investigating whether he committed perjury when he told another grand jury that he had never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs.

Barry Bonds hit his 711th home run last Wednesday, making him three more runs closer in equaling the feat of ''the Babe.'' Commissioner Bud Selig doesn't have plans in traveling to San Francisco, Milwaukee or Philadelphia, where the Giants will play next week as Bonds nears Ruth.

''We celebrate new records, that's what we do. We're being consistent,'' Selig said during the Associated Press Sports Editors annual meeting with league commissioners. ''There's nothing to read into that.''

''He's had a remarkable career. Whatever happens, happens,'' Selig said. ''We're going to let nature take its course. Commissioners don't sit around and say, 'I hope this guy breaks it or not.''
