MLB has a plan for Bonds ... maybe
According to commissioner Bud Selig, a committee of sports journalists and baseball historians was set up during the off-season and determined:
Aaron deserved more home runs based on the fact in 1958, home runs hit during both the first week of spring training and those hit in pre-game batting practice during away games in the third week of August could be added.
As well as home runs hit during the 1971 All-Star Game.
As well as any hit during the TV show "Home Run Derby."
As well as the rule in the second half of the 1962 season when balls that bounced over the outfield fence should have been counted as home runs, and foul balls that were hit behind the batter but cleared the netting intended to protect fans seated behind home plate were also home runs. That being the case, league scorekeepers now say Aaron had his best year in 1962, hitting 65 home runs—20 more than originally thought.
