I think it’s funny how the fans in San Francisco have been hammered recently for cheering Barry Bonds’ chase of the all-time home run record. Numb nut Jay Mariotti of the Chicago Sun Times even went as far to call San Fran fans, “unconditionally glorifying sheep” for essentially willing Bonds to the record.
Does Jay or the rest of the people hammering Giants fans really think that if Bonds played in another city it would be any different? What if he played 14 seasons with the Red Sox or Yankees – would New York or Boston fans really boo him? Hell no, they’d probably stand and cheer louder than any other fans.
Come on, the fans in San Fran have acted no differently than any other baseball city would. So bashing them – or worse yet, going as far as calling them “unconditionally glorifying sheep – is freaking ridiculous. Discredit Bonds, not the city who supported him well before he cheated.
