Game Over For Barry Bonds?
That's the title of
Dan Abrams' latest column
for
Jewish World Review
. I wish it were the end of the road for him.
Frankly, I wish he would've played in the 60's and 70's so he would've gotten beaned a bunch of times by Drysdale or Gibson after he showboated after he hits a homerun. They would've drilled him in the ribs or thrown at his head and not thought twice about it. It would've served him good to be out injured a few times for sporting a spoiled brat attitude.
Even if he hits 756 homeruns or more, I won't recognize him as being the greatest homerun hitter ever because he achieved it by eating steroids and by being a me-first player.

It's time for baseball great Barry Bonds to stop playing the game-the legal game that is. He's challenging the publication of the book "Game of Shadows," which details Bonds' alleged use of steroids and performance-enhancing drugs. Now Bonds is not challenging the truthfulness of the allegations made by the book's authors instead he has consistently refused to address whether the rumors and evidence of his steroid use are true. Bonds and his attorneys are trying a little legal curve ball, trying to prevent the book's authors from making money. I can understand why they don't like the book. After all, in front of a grand jury, Bonds denied knowingly taking steroids. He suggested that maybe something he took was something other than what it seemed to be, effectively the "they might have slipped me a mickey" defense.Bonds has no shame. That's been obvious for a decade. He's a self-centered jerk and a worthless teammate. He's also choked an awful lot in the postseason. It's insulting that he us the "they might have slipped me a mickey" defense. Anyone who's read articles about Barry Bonds' offseason regimen knows that he's a control freak of his environment.
