Happy Birthday Barry Bonds!!!
Barry Bonds turns 47 years old today.
Where, oh where has Barry Bonds been? I can honestly say that I am not very pleased with how Bonds left the game. I kind of feel unfulfilled with his exit from the sport.
We are all entitled to our opinions, and I know that we all have them when it comes to Bonds. But, of all of the guys that have exited the game during the course of the last 4+ years and are headed to Cooperstown, we saw sharp declines in their output – except for Barry’s. We saw it from Frank Thomas and Ken Griffey Jr. and John Smoltz and Randy Johnson and even my beloved Greg Maddux.
But Bonds is the guy that I feel like he could have given us more to watch. 3,000 hits was very close. As was 800 home runs. I would have like to have seen him reach both milestones prior to his retirement from the game.
Happy Birthday Mr. Bonds – you are missed by this fan!!!
Hes usually seen in a court house. I was a big fan of his when he played for the Pirates. No way he’ll ever get into Cooperstown. I have a better shot of being inducted!
Happy Birthday Barry. Now start doing the right thing and just maybe you’ll re-build a fan base.
If anything I have more respect for Pete Rose because he admitted his faults not like that azz Barry Bonds..Let him stand trial?
