No Reason to Feel Sorry for Unwanted Bonds
Newsday -Barry Bonds is not a victim, and he’s not caught up in some expertly coordinated, widespread conspiracy to keep him out of baseball. That discussion needs to stop before it picks up any more steam now that the Diamondbacks, like the Mets and Tigers before them, have decided Bonds isn’t the answer to their problems, even if the all-time home run king is still sitting out there, unemployed, as the All-Star break approaches and the division races heat up.
When it comes to Bonds, some people also would have you believe that the lack of interest in him is a mystery. But it’s not.
