Barry Bonds

Okay, I know that I just put a post up a few minutes ago. But I saw this and it made me a little sad, but more pissed off than anything else. As most of you know I am huge Giants fan. Always have been and always will be. On top Barry Bonds is my all time favorite player.Even with his bad attitude, lack of hustle, and basically it's all about me and to hell with everyone else's attitude I am still a HUGE Barry Bonds fan. What the Giants did to him last year was just wrong. The guy was your best everyday player. He was the reason people came out to watch crappy baseball for the last few years. We went to see Barry hit the ball into the water. So what if he didn't always run out a ground ball to second or a shot to the outfield thinking it was going to be a home run. So freakin what! Barry was today's fans Willie Mays, and Willie McCovey. Even though when the Giants Signed Barry I was 22 years old I feel that I grew up with him. That is why I feel that the Giants did him wrong last year by letting him go. He wanted to play one more year, hell you should have let him do it. You could have been much worse with him than without him.

Anyway, the thing that pissed me off was I read that Mark Ecco, he's the guy who bought Barry's 756th home run ball. Is not going to work out a deal with the Baseball Hall of Fame to put the ball on display. The ball is part of history and the people should have the right to see it, not locked up in some wealthy a-hole's house. You may not agree with things that Barry has been accused of doing or even his personality, but that ball need to be available for the people to see. Last time I checked Pete Rose's all time hits ball, #4256 is in the Hall of Fame and he bet on baseball. Hell he bet on his own team. And OJ Simpson is still in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and we all know what he did.

Anyway, Mark Ecco pull your head out of your ass and do the right thing. Put Barry's #756th home run ball into the Hall of Fame. You would get greater satisfaction knowing that baseball fans get to see what they want to see, and not wonder what the ball looks like.
