Athletes play games, after all, and they are compensated beyond belief through the largesse of these “fair-minded” and mostly benevolent owners who have as much will to win as the athletes themselves.

That’s not even close to the best work he’s done. It’s very good, but it ain’t the best. Go to the site and check out the 2 part series on Bonds…then go to thestartingfive.wordpress.com and search for Barry Bonds.

Folks have really done the digging on these issues. Happy hunting.
