From the Sacramento Bee, comes this item on the possibility of a Barry Bond statute outside of AT&T Park:
It's safe to say Roger Clemens won't have a statue of his likeness outside Fenway Park.
Not just because of his link to steroids and legal troubles, but because Clemens went on to win two championships with the New York Yankees. In Boston, that's unforgivable.
A statue of Sammy Sosa outside Wrigley Field? Not going to happen.
A statue of Mark McGwire outside Busch Stadium? We're not here to talk about the past, sorry.
A statue of Barry Bonds outside AT&T Park? Hold the phone a second.
Does Bonds deserve to be immortalized with a statue of his likeness – his arms raised as he watches home run No. 756 sail over the center-field wall? Should he join other Giants greats – Willie Mays, Willie McCovey, Juan Marichal and Orlando Cepeda – who have statues?
Some Giants fans will say that while they cheered for Bonds before his arms, chest and head made him look like a cartoonish figure, he disgraced the game by using performance-enhancing drugs.
Others will say none of that matters; he provided them with memories that will last a lifetime. Besides, how can the Giants not honor a Bay Area son who is baseball's all-time home run king (wink, wink)?
Though the Giants benefited from Bonds' home run era, they are in no hurry to decide on a statue, and they will continue to keep a polite distance from their former star for now.
The Giants most likely will wait to see if Bonds is elected into the Hall of Fame in his first ballot later this year. If he is, it's just a matter of time before a statue is unveiled.
Why not put a bronze Bonds outside the park? Maybe a statue of Bonds holding a syringe? Or Bonds with gynecomastia from 'roiding? How would you pose Bods to immortalize the career home-run leader?
