Did anyone catch the article on Bonds in the latest issue? I gotta say that it made me look at him in a new light. Granted his attitude towards the media would be better in a perfect world but putting that aside I do agree with them in that no one is dominating their sport right now like Bonds. He has more intentional walks by himself than all but two teams in the league, he bats .357 with an 0-2 count, and had a 1.000 slugging percentage over two whole months of the season. You add this to the personal strife he has been experiencing this year and it's truly remarkable.
Living within 30 minutes of SF I already hear a LOT about Bonds and I have held him in high regards as an athlete for some time now. After reading that, and how much of an impact/influence both his father and godfather had in his life, I have a new respect for him as a person. I hope the Giants are able to win the World Series this year so that he can add a championship to his long list of accomplishments.
