A report notes that Commissioner Bud Selig will be in attendance for the Brewers-Giants series in Milwaukee. And that only makes sense since the game is in the town that the Commissioner is in. If anyone should go see a local game when it is available, it is he. There is almost no excuse not to attend.
So now he can say that he attended, and get the Bonds backers off his back, but he still didn't commit to attending every game of the chase, which would get the Bonds haters off his back as well, for the most part. It would be hard to fault Selig for attending the games of the team he used to own. But if he happen to be there when Bonds sets the record, then it happens and he would be there.
But I expect Barry to get walked a lot and not get a chance to hit even one homerun. Milwaukee is Aaron's town and I presume they protect their own, just like we do. So I don't see him getting any strikes, even if the bases were loaded. Then again, the Brewers have been sinking back to the pack (or rather the Cubs have been charging up the division), so they can't be too stupid about things or find themselves just a game or two above the Cubs.
If he does not do it in Milwaukee, then Barry will have to do it at home; starting Monday is a series with the Braves. How appropriate would it be if he did it against the Braves?. And I am pretty sure he likes doing it at home, so I have to assume that he will sit out Saturday's game (day game after night), then he could just complain about his legs again on Sunday and skip that game too, if he wanted. But it's happening soon.
