Being from Boston, I am expected to hate on Bonds like basically everyone else.. However, I respect what he does.. think about this... He has gone through the death of his father, steroid scandel, almost indicted on tax fraud, and has been jeered at just about every ball park he has played in, even his own. The man has courage and I cant wait until he breaks the record. http://thebaseballcorner.blogspot.com/ Barry Bonds is the best player we will ever see, along with A-Rod.

When I made this post about him, I searched for some other blogs to do trackbacks to, but all of the bloggers posting about Barry were negative, and tended to ignore his accomplishments in favour of spotlighting the scandals. Well, if you look at the past, Hank Aaron received death threats when he was setting the record Barry is chasing now, lest we forget all the death threats towards Jackie Robinson. In my opinion baseball should be exciting, and that's what players like Barry Bonds, Clemens, A-Rod, Dice-K and Josh Beckett are bringing to the game. btw, I wish the Marlin hadn't given up Josh Beckett :-( but if he had to go to an AL team, the Red Sox would be my favorite.

And to top it off he is doing it so "old" in baseball years.

Look at John Smoltz with the Braves and all the players who are pushing or past 40 who are still consistent. With Barry, I think it's more than breaking records, the guy obviously has a love for the game. Suprisingly “old” (late thirties to forties) isn’t so old any more.

In 2005 while Barry was out most of the season recovering from his knee injury he wrote Barry Bonds a Tear jerking letter about his fight for his life and encouraging Barry to recover soon. They now share special bond and on opening day in 06 him and Barry threw the warmup tosses of the baseball out in left field. http://barrybonds.mlb.com/players/bonds_barry/imgs/ChrisBB2_051007.jpg Here’s a picture of Barry bonds a few days ago with Christopher Laub at the UCSF hospital where he is getting treatment for leukemia.
