Random Fodder: Barry McSteroid Backlash

Do Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens hang out on weekends now?

I noticed last night that Major League Baseball 2K8 for PS2 (no, I'm not cool. I don't have one of those new fangled video play machines yet) does not include the single season and all-time home run records in their list of all-time Major League Baseball records.

This game is extremely buggy at times and inaccurate (they claim Ken Griffey Jr. has the all-time stolen base record to name one example), but leaving out The Sultan of Steroids (Shrinking Testicles) cannot be a mere oversight. It's nice to see that the folks who made this game actually took a side in the Barry Bonds steroid/home run record controversy by choosing not to publish the category and record* at all. Is this "oversight" the same on the next gen versions?

It's too bad they didn't go a step further by including the home run categories and attributing the records to their true holders: Roger Maris and Hank Aaron.
