It has just been reported on ESPN.com that Barry Bonds will boycott the Hall of Fame if they display his 756 HR ball with an asterisk.
Barry Bonds would boycott Cooperstown if the Hall of Fame displays his record-breaking home run ball with an asterisk
That includes skipping his potential induction ceremony.
"I won't go. I won't be part of it," Bonds said in an interview with MSNBC that aired Thursday night. "You can call me, but I won't be there."
You know what Barry? Fine with me. The Hall of Fame is an honor. Apparently you are too arrogant to understand that one is invited to join the Hall of Fame.
Personally, you've done so much to taint the image of baseball, I couldn't care less if you are in the Hall of Fame.
First it is the steroids. Then it's the lying about the steroids. Finally it's about treating the fans and the game with contempt.
Barry, we're already over you. HanK Aaron, Willy Mays, your Dad, and yes even in some places Buddy Biancalana will be more beloved and respected than you.
Thanks for reading my rant.
