Barry Bonds hasn’t played professional baseball since 2007. He’s facing a federal charges. He’s closer to 50 than 40. Despite all of that, Barry Bonds still wants to play.
Jeff Borris, Bond’s agent, even pointed out the San Francisco Giants as a possible destination for Bonds.
Said Borris to the San Francisco Chronicle: “I know the Giants are dying for power, and they’re in it. They wouldn’t have to look beyond their backyard.”
The chances of the Giants signing Bonds is about the same as the chances that David Eckstein finishes the season with 74 home runs.
Even Bonds’ agent agrees that Bonds signing with the Giants — or anyone else — is unlikely.
“I talk to teams all the time,” said Borris, “but nobody has brought up his name.”
Eventually, Bonds will get too old to even claim he wants to return to baseball. But for the next few years, at least, expect Bonds to openly claim to want to return to the game.
Why is A-ROID allowed to play Baseball when he’s been using Steroids since High School, and Barry Bonds is not allowed to play because he used Steroids for maybe 3 or 4 years?
Barry is one of the all time great hitters, and perhaps the best ever at looking over a pitch and working out a walk because pitchers refuse to challenge him, yet the fans have been cheated of watching him display his talents for the last 2 seasons. He may be getting old, but he can still hit.
