It is a well-written, well-researched book about a complicated, guarded, and obviously controversial man. I can't stop thinking about his legacy and whether he will ever be voted into the baseball Hall of Fame.<BR/><BR/>I wonder how the criticism and glaring media attention affect him (how can it not?) and how he copes with it day after day, month after month, year after year.<BR/><BR/>His on-field accomplishments, pre-steroids, are certainly noteworthy and he could inducted into the Hall of Fame based on them alone. But it's his treatment of others (media, teammates, clubhouse staff, fans) and his blind refusal to even acknowledge anything about performance-enhancing supplements that I believe will stain his legacy.<BR/><BR/>He appears to be a gifted and perceptive athlete on the field who often lacks common decency, although there are glimpses of a kind soul and gentle spirit. <BR/><BR/>I knew only a little about Bonds before reading the book and in my aging wisdom have learned not to judge. Let he who is without sin cast the first stone. One thing I know for sure is that even if Bonds surpasses Hank Aaron's 755 home runs, Bonds can take a page out Aaron's playbook. Classy, hard-working and humble, Hank Aaron endured suffocating racism, death threats and didn't have much fan appeal, but went on to lasting greatness. Bonds demands attention, Aaron commands respect. That is the difference. <BR/><BR/>Courtney GreeneAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-1153333080932412892006-07-19T13:18:00.000-05:002006-07-19T13:18:00.000-05:00WAR Keith Murphy!WAR Keith Murphy!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27489210.post-1153252208682337252006-07-18T14:50:00.000-05:002006-07-18T14:50:00.000-05:00Take it easy on Round Guy.
