 Bonds Is In
Finally, our winterlong nightmare is over. Bonds has signed his revised contract, and assuming that the commissioner doesn't find another loophole to exploit, nothing can stop him from joining the Giants this season.
Let's make no mistake. Barry Bonds will once again be the centerpiece of the San Francisco Giants. Peter Magowan's assurances aside, that's the only possible result of him being on the club. Bonds will be pursuing the single most important statistical record in professional sports. He'll be the focus once again of continued legal, medical, chemical and ethical speculation. How can he not be the centerpiece, or at the very least, the center of attention?
No doubt, the Giants are a better team with Bonds on the squad. No one should think, though, that the finalization of the Bonds contract marks the end of anything. It just marks another beginning. It's one more lap around the swamp, but this time, the stakes for Bonds are the highest they've ever been.
Expect alligators.
