From Onion Sports:
SAN FRANCISCO—A sellout crowd rose to its feet and exploded into ecstatic cheers Tuesday night as Barry Bonds completed the downfall of America's most revered sport by hitting a thundering 435-foot shot into the right center field bleachers for career home run No. 756 and tainting baseball's most beloved record.

Pfft, if I were on steroids I could have hit that , too!
ReplyDeleteFrom what I've read you write about Onion, I would venture the guess that it was trying to subtly emphasis the perfidiousness of the deed. Then again, maybe it just needs some fact checkers.
ReplyDeletepinkacorn You must be quite a hitter!
ReplyDeleteseenthatbefore: I thought the same thing, or that having the shot go in the wrong bleachers was a subtle sign it's satire or it was just a slip of the keyboard that got by their crack fact checkers....hard to know!
Relax, it got corrected.
ReplyDeleteI can calmly eat breakfast now. The anxiety this error has caused me has kept me eating for two days. I am now relaxed. Thank you anon. for telling me it's corrected. I adjusted my post to reflect the correction.
ReplyDelete/Lies back, exhales, relieved of the stress the error caused me. Ahhh.
