Barry can do what he wants with his stuff. Keep the ball, donate it, who gives a swut?

Let's remember, though, that right or wrong, fans are going to hate Bonds if he refuses to give the ball to the Hall.

That's exactly the point. He has the right to do anything he wants. And people have the right to think he's a jerk.

It isn't helped in most people's eyes by the fact that he used PEDs to achieve the record and he lies about it.

Do you really think he could change the minds of any of those people at this point anyway? He has absolutely nothing to gain here, so he might as well do whatever he damn well pleases. Which is pretty much what he has always done anyway.

You can't change a life time's worth of petulance with a single act of thoughtfulness. Whatever Bonds' reputation is with fans, the media and his peers, is one he's made himself.

During the players strike, no forced him to go to court to try to reduce his child support payments.

I never once said he didn't earn much of the hatred. I'm just saying that it's not going to change now, so why would anybody expect him to change his behavior now?
