09/13/2005: Congratulations to Barry "Not a Carbon Based Lifeform" Bonds....
who returned to the playing field last night. For a minute there, it looked like he hit homer #704, but umpring has gotten a bit better in the last (almost) 9 years, so the fan's deflecting the ball out of the park was correctly ruled fan interference this time.
UPDATE: The Billy-Ball email newsletter has a number of new nicknames for Bonds:
- The BALCO Behemoth
- The Steroidal Superstar
- The Pharmaceutical Pariah
- The Juiced Giant (gotta love the double entendre there)
- The McCovey Covian Colossal
- The Glandular Gargantuan
- The Lying Leviathan
- The Prodigious Prevaricator
- The Testosteronial Titanic
- The Giant Jeet
- The HGH Homer King
- The Anabolic Anomaly
