Re: Official argue about all things Barry Bonds GOAT thread
[ QUOTE ]
So do you think his relationship with his teammates and others (not just the media) was good or bad compared to others?
[/ QUOTE ]
I'd say just about like any other ballplayer, good with some, bad with others.
Despite what you may think, he isn't some kind of social pariah that is disliked by all former teammates.
For example, the Saturday before Halloween... a bunch of Bond's friends put on an event to celebrate him breaking the Homerun record.
Among those in attendance were Matt Williams, Kenny Lofton, Rich Aurilia, Ryan Klesko, Bobby Bonilla, and Vince Coleman..to name a few.
The media would tell you Jeff Kent wasn't there, but not bother to list those numerous teammates who were.
It's par for the course.
FWIW...also in attendance were Eddie Murphy, Quincy Jones, Tyler Perry, Johnny Gill, Magic Johnson, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Marcus Allen.
Guy must be some prick, huh? [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
