It's no secret that Bonds is my favorite baseball player ever next to the great Tony Gwynn, but even I was skeptical about how he would do this season. I figured he would be able to break Hank Aaron's career HR mark of 756 this season, but the way he is playing he may get close to 800.
Last I checked he was on pace to hit over 50 again. He is hitting .348 which is going to probably put him in contention for the batting title again like he won a few years back. Considering he gets intentionally walked every other at bat he doesn't need a ton of hits to keep his superb average. When someone pitches to him he usually hits a HR, or at the very least gets a hit. It is not uncommon to see his stat line for a game of 1-2 with a HR and 3 walks.
The guy is just amazing. I don't care if he injects beef roids into his eye. The guy is the best player in the modern era. You still have to hit the ball. Roids aren't going to do that much for you. IF he wasn't such a jerk he would be as big as anyone in sports. He still is, but not in a good way. He may not be endorsing first communion gifts and have a ton of morals, but he certainly is exciting to watch play. When he is in the batter's box everyone just stops to watch.
Detroit Tigers, Detroit Lions, Detroit Pistons, Rasheed Wallace, Barry Bonds, and the world of sports.
