The real news story would be finding any player truly in support of bonds. I watched an interview with his former teammate Andy Van Slyke recently, he wouldn't even say bonds name.
Van Slyke dealt with Bonds close up for those pittsburgh years, he knows exactly how much of a jackass this guy really is.
NH
And you where there? Or did you just read that?

There is proof beyond a reasonable doubt the bonds is a jackass. It happens pretty much every time he opens his mouth.
OOOOH so much hatred ---
have barry stand trial in front of Judge Judy
E-6...Nice reference to the article.
Happy that the man is still alive at 96.
Not much to the article. Talks about Russ Springer drilling Bonds. Can't wait until Bonds meets Springer again. Can't believe he'll just wait to be hit again.

TR,
NO, I was not there...
I simply have listened to the interviews that Van Slyke has done. Since HE was there, i would say he is a credible source!

Ramrod....you best be careful.....BigHit said he'd delete any and all of your posts dealing with racism......
I don't agree with him.....but he has the delete button......I also don't agree with what you just posted.....

Could only imagine what a guy like Bob Gibson would do to Barry Bonds, the so-called tough guy, when he stepped up to the plate wearing his body armour. 
Gibson was interviewed during a Cards game not too long ago. Said he'd love to have had the opportunity to dent Bonds' armor. Gibby never liked anyone crowding "his" plate.
But Gibson "wasn't there" on the field with Bonds, so I guess his opinion doesn't count for anything either.

RR,
Cut out the racism, You are so off base here.
I called him a jackass for who and what he is, NOT HIS SKIN COLOR
Bonds is what he is because of how he has treated people, professionally & personally, NOT BECAUSE OF HIS SKIN COLOR.
I have asked this question for Bonds supporters time and time again, but NEVER received any answers.
Why do his teammates not come out to home plate to congradulate him on these "historic HRs" ?
Hell, they dont even come out of the dugout.
Certainly hitting these "historic HRs" is a cause for celebration. You see guys get mobbed for a GW single in the 9th inning between two last place teams. If your teammates are not even into coming out for the "big moment", that says volumes about you.
I dont remember that occuring for Aaron.
"All white ball players from the Babe Ruth era that are in the HOF should have an asterisk next to their names as should Ruth for drinking, an illegal substance during prohibition...and they played during segregation which means they never faced the best...their supposed greatest is all a lie."
Did you say the same thing about Doc Gooden & Daryl Strawberry ?
They did an illegal substance and got many "extra chances"
As far as the players of the time before Jackie Robinson, They did not control who played or di not play in the major leagues.
Bonds got involved with a group whose major purpose was to put top athletes on performance enhancers and make sure they could pass all the drug tests.

As for chances how about the late Steve Howe-LHP--7 strikes and he was still not out
NH I am with you --we may disagree on many things but it has nothing to do with white/black with regard to Bonds-- you have your view and I have mine--so be it
In fact RR, I think you should drop the cross and realize that we are talking "ballplayers" not color or ethnic background
Or do I go see how few Italians are in the "bigs"
RR==realize this for once--a person is a person regardless of ethnic background--you need to be educated and you should also wear Nikes when carrying the cross because it helps to prevent "soul burn". Sandals do not work anymore on the hot tar

A black man with a tough bent to his personality is not the same thing as a white guy with a tough personality...the whites would call the white guy a "tough guy" but the black guy with a tough personality to whites is a "jackass".
Like I said its about who's ox is being gored...

Perhaps the single most off-base statement I've read on this site in the last four years.
Please, please, please, don't bring race into this. By way of just one example, i personally witnessed, from about 1 foot away as barry refused to sign an autograph for Mrs. Jackie Robinson. Come on for goodness sakes, he disrespected Jackie Robinson's wife. In the same instance, He also told my then 10 year old son to go f**K himself when my son too asked for an autograph).
was race part of that conduct. such actions against the wife of the man who broke the color barrier. No, bonds is a child of privilege and a rotten self centered spoiled brat. those qualities come in all colors. he's not a tough guy, he's a jerk, a bully and a punk and his color is irrelevant.

One too many * there Ramiro.
