Now that baseball season has gotten underway, what’s a team-less Barry Bonds to do, as he waits to be called up for his court date? Well, why not take in a basketball game and shake hands with Kobe Bryant?

The San Francisco Giants seem determined to cut all ties with Barry Bonds, so much so that images featuring the steroid-suspected slugger have been banished from the ballpark.
REUTERS reports that banners & billboards of Bonds have been bumped from AT&T Park. As the article states, “The left field wall no longer bears an image of Bonds chasing (Hank) Aaron for the home run crown, nor elsewhere is the number of Bonds’ home runs in relation to Aaron posted.”

KCNC-TV in Denver reports that the fan who caught Barry Bonds’ possible last home run has finally come forward. And the holder of the hopefully historic horsehide plans to auction it off, maybe selling it for up to … (dramatic zoom-in) ONE MILLION DOLLARS!
Jameson Sutton was the lucky fan to walk away from Coors Field on Sept. 5 with Barry’s base-clearing boomer #762. But the ball bearer had stayed anonymous for months, until an auction house was able to track him down.
