He's Coming

[bryant]

So on a whim and because I've been promising michele_blue Red Sox games for a while, I picked up Red Sox tickets. And... who's coming to town in June? Barry Bonds, on track to beat Hank Aaron's record at Fenway.

Well, that could be interesting. So I got tickets for that. Bleacher, which raises the horrifying possibility of getting the actual HR ball.

Some radio guys are saying whoever gets it should write "Steroids" on it in magic marker and hand it over to the Hall, as a permanent reminder. That feels a little dog in the manger to me. If I caught the thing, I'd be torn between selling it for whatever the market would bear; giving it to the Hall of Fame; or, my own personal statement option, just destroying it.

Fortunately this is a very unlikely sequence of events.

Yeah, it's pretty tainted. But what part of baseball isn't at this point? I stopped watching baseball after the 1995 strike because it's annoying when both sides go "It's not about the money!" when it really was about the money.

P.S. This is Andy W.
P.P.S. You should add me as a friend.
P.P.P.S. Seriously.
P.P.P.P.S. Ok, this one was gratuitous.
