This allows him not to answer questions from reporters about steroids. He'll say to reporters,"I can't comment because of pending litigation". This is another "f" you ..."
The book tells all, him at a luncheon speaking with Ken Griffey in 98, saying that he couldn't believe that after going 400/400 that year, the only player to do so...being in the 9th page of the sportsnews in the paper because Mcguire and Sosa were all juiced up and homered till there was no end. He told Griffey that finally the world would see what a great athlete he is after he too would start* jacking up * , saying that he and Griffey were much better athletes and never would get the recognition.
Bonds, imo, is the best player the game has ever seen...too bad his pride couldn't overcome his ego.
That's the ridiculous part. For all the 90's the two best players in the game, hands down, were Griffey and Bonds. Even after the 98 season, no serious fan considered McGwire or Sosa his equal. Bonds was the ultimate 5 tool player (well maybe 4, after all he couldn't throw out Sid Bream). The book confirmed what I always thought the motive was behind Bonds using steroids. He had to look at these one trick ponies and saw all the attention they were getting, meanwhile he was agurably the best all around player in the game and nobody cared. Now, nobody cares about McGwire, Sosa, or Bonds accomplishments because they juiced up.
