I have a confession to make.

All of this coverage of Barry Bonds and his quest to pass Hank Aaron as the all time HR leader? I haven't been paying attention.

This doesn't mean I'm not aware of how many homers he has, or when he's hit another one. That's too difficult to avoid -- it's on ESPN, scrolling across the bottom of the screen. It's on the news websites. It's on the ticker at the bottom of my web browser. I'm pretty sure there's blimps flying over our cities with hourly updates scrolling across them.

But I am not clicking on any of the stories to read them. I am changing the channel if the subject is broached. And I'm not watching the pitch-by-pitch coverage of his each and every at bat. I even change the radio station when it's being discussed ad nauseum.

Accuse me of burying my head in the sand, if you wish, but as far as I'm concerned, Henry Aaron is the HR King until someone doesn't need mysterious substances like the clear and the cream, or body armor that our troops in Iraq are envious of, to challenge the mark of 755.
