Selig has said that he will attend Barry Bonds' games until the record is broken. He will travel with the Giants while Bonds chases Hank Aaron's All-Time home run record of 755.
Selig has not said whether or not he will be part of any on-field celebration once the Home Run is hit.
This is the absolute correct thing for the Commissioner to do.
Although Bonds is highly suspected to have taken steroids, he is a U.S. citizen and is innocent until proven guilty, just like Selig said.
This is arguably the biggest record in all of sports, and if Selig wasn't there, it would have given fans a little bit of unsureness as to how to celebrate the record. Now that Selig is going fans will understand just how big of deal this whole thing is.
In a time where sports headlines are filled with dog fighting scandals, shootings, and fixed games. It's refreshing to finally see something that will actually happen on the field be backed by the commissioner, and have people talking about athletes playing their sport, and not what they do off the field or court.
