Michael, thanks for sharing the piece on Ted W, especially on a day like today. What a man.

No one can say that Barry Bonds is not a great hitter. But many would disagree with him when he says that his record isn't tainted.

The Giants used to be "my" team growing up. I got to see Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, and Bobby Bonds as a child when the Giants would play a yearly exposition game at Santa Clara University. All the Catholic school kids would get out of class to go see the Giants play the Broncos.

Different times indeed.

I want A-Rod to stay healthy and surpass BB ASAP.

I love watching Bonds play the game. Ted Williams, of course, was in a league of his won.

P.S. Make that "league of his own."
