Barry Bonds' youngest brother, Bobby Bonds Jr., is upset at Hank Aaron said he won't be present when the Giants outfielder breaks his record for career homers, the Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger reported Wednesday.

Bonds Jr. said his brother deserves better treatment, regardless of whether he used steroids, the newspaper reported.

"Especially Hank Aaron," Bonds Jr. said, the Star-Ledger reported. "Hank Aaron does not even want to support Barry. Being a black man going through what he went through in the past and not supporting my brother, it kind of makes me look at him like, ‘Are you serious, brother? Are you serious?’ ”

Aaron, the current record-holder with 755 career homers, has said in previous interviews that he will be playing golf somewhere and doesn't want to follow Bonds around as he nears the record.

Bonds currently is at 745 homers and is playing at a high level this season.

Bonds Jr., who said he doesn't believe his older brother took steroids, also thinks commissioner Bud Selig should commit to being present, the newspaper reported.

"Cut the steroids out, just look at my brother as a human being. He stole bases, he ran, he caught the ball," Bonds Jr. said, the Star-Ledger reported. "It's so hard to justify what's going on with baseball and how they're treating him."

Bonds Jr., 37, also played pro baseball but only reached Triple-A. He now lives in New Jersey, the Star-Ledger reported. He said he did ask his older brother if he used steroids, the newspaper reported.

“He said, ‘No man, I don't need to do that (stuff).’ ” Bonds Jr. said, the Star-Ledger reported. “Point blank. I'm not going to sit here and try to pump my brother up. If he did it, if he snuck it, he's not going to let me know. You know what I mean? And if he did, he kept it quiet from the whole world.”

"When other people started getting busted, of course, this guy hit 73 home runs, he's big as hell, let's go after him. But they've tested him, he's come back negative. I don't understand why they keep bringing it up. They can't prove it.”

The younger Bonds said he has worked out with his brother and seen him with legal supplements, so he believes the Giants star's physique could be natural, the newspaper reported.

Bonds Jr. said he's proud of his his older brother.

“It's unfortunate that reporters take it to another level and not just look at him as a human being who loves the game," Bonds Jr. said, the Star-Ledger reported. “I don't care if it's negative or positive, at least in the history books, they're going to know our last name!”

And Bonds Jr. doesn't expect his older brother to crumble under the intense media scrutiny, the newspaper reported.

“I told him, ‘When it's all said and done, you've made tons of money in this game’,” Bobby Jr. said. “‘You've got your family. The rest? Whatever. They're going to talk about it to your dying day. They're going to keep trying to break you and break you and break you.’

“But I know this: They're never going to break my brother.”
