Barry likely figured she was going to sell the ball.
I don't know. I really don't care. All I know is that Hey, hates the guy (Bonds).
I like the guy. I don't care what the press thinks. I've had enough experience with members of the press to know that they have selective memory and slant a report (whether written or tv or radio)in their favor. Have you ever seen an accident happen in front of your eyes? I did. Saw the report in the paper the next day and you would think that I was on the moon instead of standing near the intersection!
On the field, likely will be the best of all time...when he retires and we look back.
When pro pitchers are afraid to pitch to a guy and he gets 150-200 intentional walks a year for 7-8 years, I applaud the guy.
The real mopes are pitchers getting millions who won't pitch to him.

Whatever his motivation in getting dressed up to play Paula, we know the end result was charity and team comraderie.
John, didn't you say a while back that a certain pitcher should have pitched around him, instead of to him? I believe that's what I read, maybe I should go search for that thread. 
If that's the case and I believe it is, that would be very contradicting on your part.
BTW, Bonds' first year with 150+ walks was 1996 with 151, it didn't happen again until 2001 when he was walked 177 times.
2001 177 walks
2002 198 walks
2003 148 walks
2004 232 walks
2005 009 walks (injured)
Not counting 2005, that's only three out of the last four years with 150+ walks.
It's AMAINZING what information someone can get from public records just by doing a Google name search!

There's a pitcher I know very well who refused to pitch around him. HR #661 to pass Mays.
The heck with steroids, I think he's taking estrogen. Did you see those pecs??? 
Once again from his naysayers....Insignificant minutia.
The man, if he's healthy all year, will easily pass Ruth and make a big dent on Aaron.
You go Barry...A big fan of yours from Chicagoland.

Brokeback Barry? I don't think so.
You might wanna think again 
His first wife might have a few interesting things to say.
As far as the great barry's stats he was matched if not surpassed in many by Bonilla when they were with the pirates together.
It's only since the "flax seed" oil and most definitely gutless managers and pitchers that this recent surge with him took place. Plus if this punk ever did his posing in the Gibson, Koufax, Drysdale era, he'd have hit his last HR right then.
I realize this is arguing about who likes vanilla and who likes strawberry (other than Darryl). And yes, I'm NOOOOOOOOOOOOO fan of barry (and much/most isn't from reading in the press, its from witnessing his act in person and first hand).
BTW, the ESPN documentary on him (part of this Abdul nonsense if they leave it in) starts April 4 i believe. I know what I won't be watching.

Hey,
While we're at it, let's talk about the 16" to 18" mounds that they had during the Gibson, Koufax and Drysdale era.
Barry Bonds belong with the greatest hitters of all time.
You go, Barry.

Been-don't think a few inches on the mound height would've mattered when they drilled barry inside nor as to the quality of their careers. I only wonder what Gibson et. al. might have done if they had that flax seed oil
Not much to do with this debate, but kind of interesting about the great Bob Gibson.
Gibson actually was still pitching after the mound was lowered. The year after the mound was lowered he went 20-5. The next year he was 23-1 and won the Cy Young award. He was 22-2 the last year of the high mounds and won the Cy Young then also.

The way Gibson pitched I dont think the height of the mound mattered to him
