Politics, News & Issues > Baseball News & Opinion Do the fans hate Barry Bonds as much as the media portrays?: 2 of 9

I believe fans hate Barry Bonds MORE than the media portrays. True fans of baseball who know and love the sport would and should hate Bonds because he is ruining the game.

Woke up in a daze In the bed that we unmade Found you'd gone away No last words to say Pending your escape For all that we've been through I think I should love you And perhaps you thought it too Had nothing left to do But leave me with the truth And all I'm asking Is for a real chance To save the last dance Just to make you...
