Barry Bonds at press conference Sat. Feb 20 introducing new hitting coach of Miami Marlins. The only previous coaching experience for the controversial home run king (who hit most of his 700+ homers after coming to the Giants where the age of 32 including 70 in 2002 for the Giants) was a spring training stint with the San Francisco Giants..Not the first time for such direct comments from Bonds, known for using lab concoctions for his own, unlikely success, in 2002 he promised to pass on his 'secrets' to fellow players - we know the results of that, per Santiago, Aurilia, Williams,Bernard, etc- and just after 2014 Giants World Series win he talked about the 'chemistry' on the Giants. Honest Bonds, or perhaps just an unfortunate turn of words - and now for the third time! (Before coming to the Giants Bonds had hit more than 36 home runs in a year and had a .290 batting career average , hardly Hall of Fame Material. But the new atmosphere seemed to help him, as it has 25 other like-minded users since Bonds... Good luck with Bonds' new manager, Don Mattingly, who was probably not consulted bofore the hiring and has nothing in common with Bonds. May see some fireworks on the bench in Miami this year if not with some indirect Bonds-aided long rockets from some of his 'students.' MORE
