Shockingly, Barry Bonds might be involved in another situation where cheating was allegedly involved. This time, however, it was the San Francisco Giants who are being accused of skewing things in Bonds’ favor.
User “fugthebums,” (on Giantsboard.com) who has since been knighted, created an online program that supposedly allowed Giants fans to vote online for Bonds 25 times in about 30 seconds. And with the use of the F5 refresh key, code users could potentially vote online for Bonds 3600 times in an hour.
Now, ESPN, FOX or SI.com has nothing posted on this story, so who knows how trustworthy it really is. However, isn’t it interesting how people questioned whether Bonds was selected into the All-Star Game on legitimate terms and now we might have a logical answer for how he leapfrogged Alfonso Soriano in a mater of days for a starting spot? Hmm…conspiracy theorists everywhere just pitched a tent.
This is the problem with fan voting for All-Star Games. It’s just like how Yao Ming gets into the NBA All-Star Game with the gazillion of votes logged by China every year. IF this story is true, you knew it was only a matter of time before some geek figured out how to rig All-Star voting.
