The Spectacle Blog
I was still living in Northern California when Barry Bonds first came to the Giants in 1993. I was a huge fan -- his hitting turned the Giants into a contender that year.
When I first saw this cover of Sports Illustrated (and after reading the story) I thought it was nothing more than a hit job by a cranky reporter.
Boy, does it look so prescient now!
