....he should also donate some of his extra steriods to aid in the recovery of this fan.

I read where the accused fan has proof he wasnt even at the game that day. Some pictures show him elsewhere. We shall see..have not followed it much but good for Bonds...he needs some good karma to build up

And he did it anonymously, as far as, to the press. The victim's lawyer revealed it. Props to Bonds. This shows the good side of him.

I've always loved Bonds ever since I was a kid. He is probably one of my favorite players of all time that I actually got to watch. This is an amazing gesture by him. And to me its not surprising he wouldn't tell the media about it.

How much PR is it to do anonymously? Many could've helped...Bonds chose to.

probably not too spry at age 46....but would not be surprised if he could step in there and hit em pretty hard and fairly often

Had he not been blackballed he would've went to about 830 Hr, 2200 RBI, 2300 runs, 2900 walks, 625 doubles, 525 SB, 3200 games, 3300 hits

with his asteriks....but still

Agree with both your post especially the one about the PR move. I'm actually surprised in this day in age it took over a month for us to hear about it.

As for Bonds he would still be a useful DH right now if he wouldnt have ever been blackballed.

Since he has final stats with asteriks and guessed stats without blackballing....here
Might be his final stats had he chose to stay clean

3000 hits, 1800 runs, 1700 RBI, 500 HR, 600 doubles, 600 SB, 1800 BB, 12+ all-star, 3 MVPs, 6-8 GG
