Should Barry Bonds happen to break Hank Aarons home run record at GABP and you happen to be in the stands, what will your reaction be???
Cheer loudly
Boo loudly
Sit on my hands and yawn
Run to the concession stand

I boo Bonds loudly every time he comes to the plate, regardless of what the result.
Do you really need a poll for this? Who in his or her right mind who rightly considers him or herself a Cincinnati Reds fan would do anything other than boo lustily every time Barry Bonds comes up to bat?

I chose the sit on my hands and yawn. Mainly because I think I'd be more dissapointed than mad enough to boo him for it.
I'd act like a Cubs fan in another teams park.

If I'm the one who catches the ball, I'd be cheering very loudly.
I have been all Bonds-ed out. Tired of the guy. I see absolutely no reason in my wasting any time or energy in booing the guy when I can be cheering for the Reds instead.
Out of respect to the game and its great records I would cheer for any individual who broke a record whether they were a Red or not. Had I been at Riverfront when Aaron tied Ruths record in April of 1974 I would have stood and politely cheered out of respect to the great accomplishment I just witnessed. But with Bonds its a different story, his actions have tarnished the game and I cant begin to cheer for anything a guy like that does.

I know this is bad to say but... I would boo him, but I would like to at least witness him passing Hank. Just for historic part of it.
WHEN DOES IT STOP!?!?
Throw a syringe at him should have been an option.
i would sit on my hands and yawn...not only does he love the cheers, but he also loves the boos...yawning gives him zero satisfaction
Where was the "throwing rocks" option?
This to me has nothing to do with him being on the opposing team. If any other player did it, that was innocent of being a complete jerk and taking steroids, I would cheer....even if it were Sir Albert the Great Prince Poo Holes.
