I’m pumped of this is true, and it looks like it is. Opens the door for Bonds, Clemens, etc. I’ve always wanted a Caminiti card, maybe we get it in the future.
Won't open the door for Bonds,him not being in games is his doing, the others though....
Yeah, I am seeing a lot of comments from people expecting this news to open the door for him to now come into the game as well, but don't think most understand that the situation between Bonds and MLB is way more complicated beyond steroids.
His godfather is already in the game. I’m sure Bonds can also appreciate the addition of Negro League storylines and legends as a way to educate younger fans. Things like that might go a long way to gaining his blessing.
No. there was an absolute war between him and the players association after the 73 hrs, not sure but I think it was about the batting titles he won it in 02 with 403 ABs and in 04 with 373 ABs cause pitchers didn't want to pitch to him and with the absurd amount of walks he had over 600 PAs each year, pissed off the players and I believe they filed a grievance with the league and tried to disqualify him for the batting titles, after that he removed himself from the players association and the games.his track record with the media wasn't any better.
It’s pretty well known in baseball that he wasn’t a very liked teammate dating back to his ASU days. If he wasn’t the best player in baseball and Bobby’s son early in his career he might have been blackballed.
