Bonds plays dodge(syringe)?
San Francisco Giants slugger Barry Bonds endured a hostile reception on the opening day of the season on Monday, with a sold-out Petco Park making clear their views on allegations of the outfielder’s illegal steroid use.At the start of a campaign in which Bonds could become the greatest home-run hitter in major league history, the 41-year-old was booed at every opportunity by San Diego Padres fans and even had to remove a syringe from the field that was tossed in his direction from the crowd.
“That’s the first time somebody threw something like that,” Bonds told reporters of the incident that occurred as he trotted toward the dugout after the bottom of the eighth inning.
“I just put it off the field so no one would get hurt.”
Nothing like crackin a fastball while dodgin the needle, somehow before the games he always gets hit! hah
