Barry Bonds Is A Disgrace

He needs to quit baseball now but he won't. He needs to go to jail but he probably won't.

Just this very past week up until last night's debacle Bonds has made it extremely difficult for even the most die hard Bonds supporter to support him.

After catching the 713th homerun of his career, a reported serviceman in Philladelphia and probably the only Bonds fan in that city, Barry Bonds refused to sign the ball. He did give a picture though and then asked for him to sign a release to be used for Bonds On Bonds, his reality tv show which he has complete creative control over....don't want those less than flattering moments to come to light.

Then just last night in the 8th inning Bonds hit a fly pop up with one man on first. Jeff Kent dropped the ball but Bonds didn't know that since he was already walking to the dugout. When his teammates yelled at him that he should run he did and barely beat the double play. He refused to talk about it in the post game press conference.

Simple mistake right?

Not if you are a 21 year veteran and Barry Bonds. Supposedly this generations best hitter.

No those aren't the only events surrounding Bonds, just the most recent.

Bonds is so insulated in his own universe that he probably does believe that the baseball world is on pins and needles waiting for him to tie The Babe and pass Hammerin Hank.

Bonds is not a sympathetic character. He doesn't care if you like him or hate him. He doesn't care for his teammates. He reportedly only cares about winning but his actions would seem to dispute that. It isn't like the Giants are contenders, they sit in last place in the West.

I really believe that if Albert Pujols, Ken Griffey Jr., or A-Rod would be chasing the record now there would be a celebration for every homerun hit. The Commissioner would be in attendence at every game.

714 is a milestone, a big one. 755 is a milestone, a huge one.

Bonds is a great player. There is no one who can dispute his numbers. Yes they would be much lower without the steroids, he just needs a steroid to make him more fan friendly and that ain't likely.
