Barry Bonds is an Allstar - the People have spoken
July 1st, 2007 by Ross Grant (filed in Baseball)
Baseball is America’s game. Our country is about the voice of the people. What could be more fitting on this Independence Day 2007? As in the past as now, back in the days of an even more unpopular war, we didn’t listen to ”the man”. And again this time we didn’t listen to the media, Congress or the MLB brass. Mr. Selig (commissioner of MLB), regarding the former, you’ll have to find another scapegoat in your league’s quest for absolution (from the so-called steroids era). No longer will you have to waste league’s money on your own self-indulgent pursuits. America has spoken. Maybe you underestimated the intelligence of sports fans across the country. It turns out Barry Bonds is not the bad guy after all!
Baseball has moved on. The fans have moved on. McGuire has long since retired, Sosa is off the juice and batting fine. The McGuire/Sosa homerun battle is over. Face it, roids can’t turn Coke into Pepsi or perform any other miracles for that matter. Barry Bonds is still standing strong and swinging a mean bat to boot.
