The new year is upon us. Thoughts of spring training run rampant through the minds of the forever young. The homerun chase to break Babe Ruth's record of 714 home runs will certainly be in the forefront of historians' minds.

Spring Training and, more specifically, Opening Day will be a great example to see if the race will be affected by the newer drug-testing policies and if Bonds and other athletes will have trouble adjusting to new rules. |
