They’d Like to Give Barry a Big Swat
- Share via
Regarding that steroid freak Barry Bonds’ assertion that if he passes Babe Ruth on the all-time home run list, people should just stop talking about the Babe. Um, Barry, you’ve said and done some stupid things (Going to court to get your child support lowered during the strike? Very classy.), but this takes the cake. The Babe’s career slugging percentage is .690. Yours is .599. The Babe’s career batting average is .342. Yours is .296. The Babe drove in 2,213 runs in 2,503 games. You have driven in 1,715 runs in 2,519 games.
Maybe we should just stop talking about you, Barry.

I have a stepbrother who lives up north and the last time I saw him, he couldn’t understand why I hate Barry Bonds so much. Bonds’ comments about Babe Ruth are so ignorant and disrespectful that I think he now knows.
By the way, Barry, how many more at-bats and pitching victories do you have than him?
