Guess who was at tonight's Giants game?!

[cboy4]

Barry Bonds, who made an appearance in the TV booth at one point!

I recorded the game because I was watching hockey and just watched what happened.

But what a pleasure it was to see the all-time home run king back at the stadium!

I look forward to when he's acquitted and the prosecution issues an apology.

UPDATE: Barry Bonds is at the game tonight

I asked what brought him here and he said "The Dodgers brought me here."

Bonds spent about 45 minutes in the Giants' clubhouse before the game chatting with players and hanging in clubhouse manager Mike Murphy's office with Willie Mays and Willie McCovey.

Lisa Nitta, his publicist, said Bonds actually met the Dalai Lama on Sunday. Christopher Laub, a young leukemia patient whom Bonds befriended in 2005, received a courage award and was told he could invite one person to the private ceremony. According to Nitta, the sixth-grader picked Bonds.

In a 2 1/2-minute interview with reporters before he took his seat aside managing general partner Bill Neukom in the lower deck, Bonds again declined to say he has retired from baseball, even if the 30 teams seem to have made the decision for him.

Asked about his status, he said, "I just haven't retired. That's the only status I have. The only interest I have right now is to go to my seats and watch the players beat the Dodgers."

Asked if he was still working out, he said, "A little bit."

Bonds contradicted a report saying he had hip surgery over the winter as he prepared for a possible comeback. He said it actually was quadriceps surgery.

"I popped my quad," he said, adding he felt OK now.

"I feel good," he said. "I'm walking and I"m not on crutches and I'm not in a wheelchair right now."

Bonds was introduced after the first inning. The crowd, already pumped after a three-run Giants rally, gave Bonds a big ovation.

2. How great was it

to see Barry cheered and to hear the fans chant his name?....:toast:

Let the rest of the country give credence to rumor and innuendo, they don't matter...nothing more than sour grapes anyway.

The HR king will live forever in the hearts and minds of true Giants fans everywhere.

3. oh boy!

I know I want to go waste my precious money on a washed up mysogynistic lying self centeredMILLIONAIRE bastard who could give a rats ass about anyone but themselves--everything I despise in humanity. I'm not sure I'd even go for free. Paying money to see a jackass..so not worth it to me.
Barry Bonds isn't a hero...People like Stephen Hawking, who is very ill...IS.

4. I've got news for you

this is the sports forum...If you want to praise Hawking, whom I agree is a great man, there are other places for it.

As is, it truly warmed my heart to see Barry given such a warm reception...
