美國職棒明星邦茲全壘打轟出756支,打破漢克阿倫的紀錄後,又接著轟出第757支. 這傲人成績因邦茲有服用類固醇禁藥的傳言,而受到貶抑,電視脫口秀主持人也拿這話題嘲諷,以下是其中的兩則:

美國NBC深夜談話節目主持人歐布里安說:

[邦茲打破漢克阿倫的全壘打紀錄後,布希總統昨晚並沒打電話給邦茲,但今天布希決定打電話.他說:[我想我很少有機會去跟唯一一位比我還不受歡迎的人講話.]

"Last night President Bush did not call Barry Bonds after he broke Hank Aaron’s homerun record, but today, Bush decided to make the call. Bush said, 'I realized I had a rare opportunity to talk to the only guy in the country who is less popular than I am.' "

-Conan O'Brien

ABC的深夜談話節目[吉米.金梅爾現場秀]主持人金梅爾說:[ 這是大頭邦茲的大日子,他的生涯全壘打數破了紀錄. 不過那支全壘打球在看台上引發一場大戰.收藏家說,那枚球價值在30萬到50萬美元之譜.這其實比其他棒球要低價多了.有的球可以賣到上百萬美元.所以我猜想,類固醇的確會讓你的球的價值縮水(老美稱睪丸也叫BALLS,或許也有這個雙關語).

"It was a very big night for the very big-headed Barry Bonds. He has the all-time record for career homeruns. There was big skirmish in the bleachers for the ball. Collectors say it’s worth somewhere between $300,000 and $500,000, which is actually a lot less than some other baseballs. Some baseballs have actually fetched millions of dollars so I guess taking steroids really does shrink the value of your balls."

-Jimmy Kimmel

至於在看台上搶到那枚締造紀錄的全壘打球的觀眾,怎麼看待這事?

據外電報導,這人名叫莫菲 (Matt Murphy), 他如果賣掉那枚棒球，財產可增加50萬美元,但如果留著不賣,卻要繳納巨額稅款。

按照規定,莫菲如以 50萬美元出售那枚球,要繳35%的稅,約合17.5萬美元.但即使不賣,也要按那球的估值繳資本利得稅

不過,由於美國聯邦正在調查運動員濫用類固醇案件,若邦茲被發現有罪的話,那枚球的價值便大減,到時莫菲便可申報虧損。

莫菲上電視接受訪問時說,他傾向保留這枚球,因為它[太有紀念價值]。

莫菲講述他搶奪那枚球的時候說：[這是我一生中感覺最長的一刻,有人踢我的背,有人踢我的頭,然後一大堆人上來壓住我,幸好舊金山警方保護我迅速離開。]
