Sure Barry Bonds hit 762 homers – But he’s no Ron Santo
Read Time:1 Minute, 23 Second
It’s only natural that a fellow guy would feel bad for another with shrunken testicles. Unless that guy is Barry Bonds.
Reading about his trial today, I saw his former girlfriend, the one Bonds kept around despite his going through two marriages with her on the side, had to testify about Barry. She said his testicles had shrunk and he had trouble maintaining an erection. She also said Bonds threatened to cut off the boobs he paid for and cut her head off and throw her in a ditch. Mr. Warmth.
Baseball has had it’s share of complete assholes. Ty Cobb was a notorious asshole. Cap Anson was a racist asshole who did all he could to keep Blacks out of the league. As did Judge Kennesaw Mountain Landis. So if someone asks if Barry Bonds belongs in the Baseball Hall of Fame, it’d be hard to say no considering the three assholes I just mentioned are in there. It would have served them right if they had small testicles and trouble maintaining an erection also.
This also makes me think of one of the real good guys in baseball. A diabetic who played at an all star level for years. Didn’t use steroids. Didn’t threaten to cut off anyone’s head. Just set an example of what a major league baseball player should be. It’s time baseball kicked some of these assholes like Cap Anson and Mountain Landis out and put a real hero in: Ron Santo. Because after all the crap Bonds and the other steroid users put baseball through, we could sure use a real hero.
Barry Bonds or this guy never, ever took steroids

It’s a pity that these druggies fooled baseball fans: children, mothers, fathers, Little League coaches etc. We paid outrageous ticket prices to watch these goon druggies perform before millions of us….and we cheered them to glory…. Maybe we should go to the Heroin/smack/ice houses and cheer those druggies! It is the same thing, or let’s start a “Roid Baseball League”. Only roid ball players on the field, and let the fans bring their own choice of drugs to their seats. That way, the druggies in the stands can watch the druggies on the field perform, while the druggies on the field can watch the druggies in the stands perform. No security on the field or the stands, let all hell break loose. In a way, that is where Major League Baseball has currently led us to. I’d rather go watch a Little League Game, those kids are the real Heros of America.
You make some really good points here Geno. Thanks.
You know Geno I do still do that. I spent about 10 years of my life, really good ones coaching my son’s teams when he was a kid. Every once in a while I go down get a ball park burger and watch the kids play. If it weren’t for the idiot parents making fools of themselves it would be a lot more fun, but I still enjoy. I know have a grandson and a grand daughter who are playing and I catch everyone of there games that I can. Its now fun to watch my son doing the hollering as the coach. 🙂
Every kid I knew wanted to be Hank Aaron or Fergie Jenkins or Ron Santo. Except for the weird ones that wanted to be Joe Pepitone.
Early Seventies in Chicagoland. Great place to be a kid.
I will also chime in to say that as a kid most of my heroes were baseball players. Those were the days without steroids when you got your accolades through your on field play and how you conducted yourself as a role model. To mention a few of mine Curt Flood, Pee Wee Reese, Hank Aaron (from my hometown) and Sandy Koufax. I also really liked Pete Rose though he shamed the game with his gambling, but I loved to watch him play.
Baseball is the only sport I follow, especially if the St. Louis Cards (the best team ever) are in the play-offs.
Baseball is full of good guys. Probably moreso than any other sport. . . lots of good working class guys who have worked hard and are grateful for their success. Too bad the douch bags get so much publicity.
I agree, lots of kids from small towns from across the country, with the room and desire to play. Baseball is a fun game.
After many years of seeing Ronnie play and listening to him do color commentary on Cub games, I couldn’t agree with you more. Even with leg amputations and other medical issues, he never complained or even talked about his problems. Thanks for posting.
