I met Barry once, briefly. His business manager was a client of mine. He was polite and very soft-spoken. Seemed kinda shy.
BTW, the Giants didn't trade Will the Thrill. They let him go to free agency and devoted their resigning money to Robby Thompson, aching back and all, after a career year in'93.
What a blunder.
What a blunder.
Not a bad thing, IMO. I couldn't stand him and still can't stand the Giants. Now that I live in the Bay Area, I'll take the A's any day.
That being said, what Bonds is doing now at his age, and playing at a sea level park, is nothing short of amazing. Yep, the balls are juiced and the strike zones are miniscule, but we should be seeing somebody in Colorado breaking these records, not Big Mac, and now Bonds. Both of these players did it playing half their games in parks tough for hr's.
