" ... [A] federal court jury found the home run king guilty of obstruction of justice Wednesday for giving an evasive answer under oath more than seven years ago. Rather than say "yes" or "no" to whether he received drugs that required a syringe, Bonds gave a rambling response to a grand jury, stating: "I became a celebrity child with a famous father."

You must take a look at this site, referenced in the LINK above. No kidding. It is an unbelievable array of statistics of Barry Bonds, or any baseball player you want, and everything similar. It is an online encyclopedia of numbers and angles on a megalith leviathan level. It makes me dizzy just to look through this site.

Bzzzzzzzzzz ...

Anyway, ... first we find the 22 seasons of Major League ball for Barry Bonds; did you know Barry Bonds is Reggie Jackson's cousin?

Bonds: Drafted\Signed June 5, 1985 -- Final Game: September 26, 2007

The year to look at is 2001 when Bonds hit 73 home-runs ... with 476 at bats. He was 36 years old and earned $10.3 million that year. After looking at Barry Bonds' resume of stat's -- this is not a sparse record of a man's early work life; it is testament.

So, Barry Bonds is found out to maybe have told a lie. Who gives a hoot?

As for you Kids, you still have to "Just say No!"

RANDOM COMMENT from OUT There --

" ... That's right. If Bonds had been working for Goldman Sachs he would have been given a "get out of jail card" and a bonus just for being an employee. Commit serious fraud as directed by management and you get an extra get out of jail card and free legal counsel plus a very large extra bonus. Continue this fraud over many years and you get to be CEO. (blogisti. 15.Apr.2011. LINK) ... "
