He has maintained that policy since. The Baseball Writers of America and essentially all so-called sports media types have pilloried Barry Bonds for refusing to allow a bunch of drunks misquote him and create sensational headlines to give them sport front bylines. The has bought their lies. As a community newspaper publisher and editor, I operated alongside these "pros" for decades, serving as a correspondent of "other coast" dailies and other media. Barry Bonds was staying in condition from Day One, while other pro athletes were taking it easy. Bond's dedication to building his strength through exercise was well known in the 1980s. The general public did not hear anything from the press except Bonds was "surly, uncooperative, rude,etc." Truth is, Bonds is one of the warmest, friendliest, most generous men around when he is away from a bunch of drunken media types.

If they wanted something there to represent Bonds's feat, they should put a syringe on display.

He may have to brand it a few times so the HOF can't hide it if they choose to display it. And if I were the curator, you had better believe I would display it! ;) I voted *B*. :)
