Well it looks like Barry Bonds lies about steroid use have finally caught up with him. In the crushing new investigative book "Game of Shadows" (an excerpt appears in the March 13 issue of Sports Illustrated), authors Mark Fainaru-Wada and Lance Williams use extensive interviews, grand jury testimony, secret documents and mountains of evidence to show in painstaking detail, not just that Bonds used performance-enhancing drugs to become the most fearsome slugger of all time, but how, when and what he used on a day-in, day-out basis.
They now call him Balco Barry. This is someone who sat next to his own godfather – the classy, beloved Willie Mays – on the day he tied the Giants' all-time greatest player on the home run list and acted like they were equals. He knowingly smiled and let Willie make a fool of himself by defending BALCO Barry and providing political cover.
Anyone with a lick of sense knew he was lying all along. This drug induced asswipe should never be considered for the hall of fame and his homerun record should be banished from the baseball records. Cheaters never win and in this case he should be banned from baseball just like Pete Rose was for gambling.
Americas pastime (Baseball) should never be tarnished with the likes of Barry Bonds and any other who decides to cheat and call himself the greatest hitter of all time.
