Bonds does NOT break Aaron’s HR record
I can’t support any team from NYC so here is my alternative to a New York team in the series…WildCardTeams:Twins/Cardinals

World Series – Indians vs.Reds (All-Ohio Series, Winner: Tribe)
– Bonds smashes Aaron’ record with 38HR. Hank is in the park when the record falls.

Michael Whelan always has three wishes at the beginning of the baseball season (and they’re good ones):
(1) That the Yankees lose all their games.
and if that fails:
(2) That the Yankees lose most of their games.
and if that fails:
(3) That the Yankees lose their last game!
I know hindsight is really 20/20, but I’m just amazed at how off your predictions are for many of the awards. Just goes to show how weird a year its been. Even the perennial favourites are having an off year.
