Will they stop the game with a small ceremony? Or just stop the game? Or just jumo tron it and there is not even a delay? And Barry does not even doff his cap.

I think the host stadium will stop the game. The players will come onto the field and hug him. Barry will salute the fans. In other stadiums they will announce it and play the HR but they will not stop the game. Might be different if it happens in San Fran.

as long as bud shows up, i could care less what they do.for the better of the game he needs to acknowledge this at the least and then let the fans and history take care of the rest. no way do you want mlb to turn thier back on the greatest record in sports. as baseball fans we need to put this era behind us and accept it and judge it as we do all records. mlb has as much to do with this getting this far as barry did. barry take steroids -sure he most likely did. did baseball know this was going on- of course they did. now hanks a different story, i don't think he needs to be there but the commish does.

if he breaks it outside of san fran , he will get his fair share of boos but i think most will applaud him because this guy had hof credentials before this. even tho steroids helped his cause later -he still was a 5 tool player who is one of the best in the game. even if you like him or not

Bud has decided he is not going...? I thought. It has been reported that Aaron is definitely not going.

i know hank isn't for sure but i think bud is still out to lunch on this one yet and hasn't commented for sure but could be wrong. havn't heard anything at least. if he has said no he should seriously reconsider.
