Leylands comments on Bonds (sorry Bonds haters)

KidKash · Jul 31, 2007

Leyland believes that Bonds' posture with the press has damaged his image along the way - although not enough to keep him from waiting more than the required five years to get into the Hall of Fame after he retires.
``I don't get into that `best of all time' stuff, but one thing I do think is that if Barry had a great relationship with the media and a pretty good relationship with the fans throughout baseball, I think most people would arguably be saying they probably saw the greatest player of all time,'' Leyland said.
``I don't want to get into that argument with old-timers about who was the greatest and who was better, because I really don't know. But I do know this: There's no player in the history of the game that's had the impact on the opposing managers that Barry Bonds has had in the last several years, as far as do you walk him? Do you not walk him? Do you pitch to him? Do you not pitch to him? I mean nobody. They can take them all.''

I don't get it...why sorry Bonds haters? I suppose I would qualify as a "Bonds hater" as you say, but I agree with every word Leyland says here.

It doesn't change the fact that Bonds is a cheater and a hateful human being, which is why I dislike bonds. I would assume even all the "Bonds haters" would agree that he is a trmendous baseball player, if not the best of all time.

Yes he is. The story about him and Ron Kittle is legendary on Chicago sports radio.

Barry Bonds irked by story in book

Barry Bonds is irate over a tale told by retired major leaguer Ron Kittle in his new book, "Tales from the White Sox Dugout." Kittle, who retired in 1991, wrote that he asked Bonds to autograph some baseball jerseys at Chicago's Wrigley Field 12 years ago, but the San Francisco Giants slugger said: "I don't sign for white people."
The jerseys were earmarked for a cancer charity.

"It's the truth," Kittle told The Associated Press. "I don't lie. I tell it as it is.
"It's unfortunate it happened. And I didn't bring it up to sell the books."
Asked Thursday by reporters to respond as he reclined on a couch in the Giants clubhouse at SBC Park, Bonds took umbrage with Kittle: "Who is Kittle? How long did he play? He played in our league?"

Bonds is a racist pud, HR record or not.

isn't jim leyland white? seems weird those two would have a good relationship, and im pretty sure teamate steve kline who is white is pretty good friends with bonds so this racist stuff is just retarded. more media crap trying to stir the pot, who cares about something that happened 15 years ago and why bring it up now? exactly

Bonds on Babe Ruth:

"[T]he only number I care about is Babe Ruth's. Because as a left-handed hitter, I wiped him out. That's it. And in the baseball world, Babe Ruth's everything, right? I got his slugging percentage and I'll take his home runs and that's it. Don't talk about him no more."

Class Act. And Ruth did it on hot dogs, not 'roids. Any wonder the old-timers like Aaron won't give him the time of day?

this does not sound like a hateful Human Being??

Barry Bonds' lawyers say they will ask a judge today to confiscate all profits from a new book alleging that the Giants slugger used steroids, arguing that the book was based on illegally obtained grand jury transcripts. Any profits from the sale of "Game of Shadows," or from excerpts published in The Chronicle or Sports Illustrated magazine, should be turned over to charity, Bonds' lawyers said Thursday in a statement outlining a lawsuit they plan to file in San Francisco Superior Court

trytrytry · Jul 31, 2007

this does not sound hateful to me..

Bonds has been generous with teammates and opponents. He recently signed a guitar that Giants pitcher Barry Zito gave to charity and autographed a bat for Houston's Craig Biggio. He's also given some of his own things to charity.

Well, since you asked, (and only a moron would need to ask after reading the article posted by Fair Warning), YES, that does sound like a hateful human being! And the example you posted doesn't flatter him much either!

yeah and ruth did it against 2nd rate pitchers who were better known for being plumbers, carpenters or service men, put him against even todays 2nd rate mlb pitchers and he hits maybe 600 hrs tops.

texansfan · Jul 31, 2007

I am starting to think KidKash has a man crush on Bonds.

Everyone did them? You have proof? It is believed that there are many athletes who have used steroids. Bonds has admitted to using them. They were and still are illegal to use. There will be the fans that will enjoy it when he breaks the record, but the overwhelming majority of people really just don't care.

He cheated, he's immoral, and he's not even the best player who played for the Giants. That would be Willie Mays.

texansfan · Jul 31, 2007

2nd rate pitchers? KidKash seriously, you must be a youngster. Do you know how big some of those ball parks were back then? Those were real pitchers back then. They pitched complete games. They traveled by train to play. The athletes today have first class travel, the best medical doctors, the best of everything.

If Bonds didn't cheat he might have only 600 home runs.
