I don't think its getting as much publicity because a homerun record is much more intresting then a regular season hits record to most fans. Although you could be right about the race thing too, just throwing some other stuff out there.

Sosa didn't get 25% of the coverage McGwire did. Sosa's coverage was almost always at the tail end of a conversation of McGwire. Bonds didn't get anywhere near the coverage of McGwire either. Now, IMO, a lot of that had to do with McGwire's humble nature and lieability. That would explain away things in regards to Bonds, but not Sosa or Suzuki
