Regardless of your personal thoughts on Barry Bonds, the fact remains he will bypass Hank Aaron's HR record in a few games!
Regardless of his innocence or his guilt, you can't erase his past successes with innuendo. Maybe if he is convicted, yes, but till then the record remains his!
Regardless of Selig's attendance or Aaron's attendance, you can however, expect a boastful self-appreciation from him. We've all heard his arrogance at some time or another!
This is all part of the Bonds mystique, notice I didn't say charm or charisma!! I really do not care if Selig is there or Aaron is there when it does happen. Barry Bonds will never be the man Hank Aaron became. I venture to say that Hank Aaron finds more, fulfilling satisfaction with his life now, than when he achieved his 755th HR. He was even quoted at the time as saying he was "glad it was over" or something to that effect. Certainly, Hank Aaron recognized his own accomplishments and achievements, but he went on to prove there is more to life than a Home Run record. He became a successful businessman and philanthropist. We should applaud him for that. Regardless of Barry Bonds breaking his record, Hank Aaron has my respect. In later years, we may look back and be able to proclaim that Barry Bonds made something in his life besides a Home Run record. So till then, let the substance of Hank Aaron be a lesson for Bonds.
