I haven't mentioned it in this spot before, but the Lords of Baseball have pissed me off with how they've advertised the now-obtained 500th homerun for Manny (about which I didn't end up blogging earlier) and 600th homerun for Griffey. The advertisement for Manny was ok, as it showed some other players getting their 500th homer and advertised watching to see when Manny would do it. The similar advertisement for Griffey's 600th showed Babe Ruth's and Hank Aaron's 600th homers. In their eternal attempt at whitewashing history, Major League Baseball's advertisement never mentioned
Update: Of course, I managed to inadvertently mention McGwire instead of Barry Bonds, so maybe I'm wrong about the whitewashing not working!

McGwire "only" had 583, so I can see why they'd omit him from a 600 HR ad. Did you mean Bonds and Sosa instead?
Yes. Thanks! I seem to have developed a mental block about Barry Bonds, ignoring him just like everybody else is. :) It's really awesome that I did it accidently too!
