Reply #32: Why do you assume the Boston thing is wide spread knowledge? [View All]

Most baseball fans think Barry is a jerk because well the writers say he's a jerk, his teammates say he's a jerk, even his so called friends say he's a jerk.

Very few baseball fans perceive Barry as racist and I think you would be lucky to find 2 out of 10 baseball fans who could match both the "I don't sign for white people" or "Boston is a racist city" and match them up to Barry Bonds. Sure they caused waves at the time but there is such a volume of material it kind of gets "lost" for lack of a better term. Take Carl Everett as an example, he is mostly know for being batshit crazy and a damn good player. Now, I could relate the half dozens crazy things he has said or done over the years but most fans on the street would be lucky to name 2. But they do know that Carl is a nut. Same with Barry, you don't have to know every story to get the impression that the man is a jerk.

And as far as credibility in the he said he said debate, Barry Bonds is proven liar and possible perjurer.
