THIS IS THE FINAL STRAW
He would have been nice protection for Gamel :P
That's 4 games with the DH in the World Series this year. Wouldn't it be funny if Melvin offered, when asked why he signed Bonds, "Well, because the World Series home field was won by the AL in the All-Star Game, we felt we needed a credible DH bat vs RHP for those 4 games."
Well, except for the fact that no one outside of Baltimore really remembers who Gibbons is, and that he's actually taken the steps to admit and apologize for what he's done (whether or not he's been truthful about it is another question), and that he'll likely be spending the rest of the year in the minors as a fill-in in Huntsville and probably won't ever see Milwaukee, the fan reactions to Bonds and Gibbons should be identical.
That would likely have happened even if Bonds wasn't a suspected steroid user. People in Milwaukee love Hank Aaron and he made it pretty clear he was none too pleased about having his record broken.
Anyway, I think people would get over it. Most Brewer fans were filled with hate for Julian Tavarez but they signed him anyway and nobody stopped showing up because of it.
Hank was PISSED!
The best way baseball can get past the steroid era, is let Bonds play and move on. The steroid problem has been blown out of proportion, is being made out to be an unspeakable tragedy, the biggest black eye in American history. It is not.
Bonds played by the rules. Baseball should accept its blame and take Bonds back, millions of baseball fans will love it, those that don't can deal with it just fine.
About the booing of Bonds, the prior times he had come through post-steroid allegations, some of the SF reporters even wrote how polite the crowds were towards Bonds, compared to most other cities.
When it became inevitable, THEN it was a different story.
Aaron spent the majority of his career in Milwaukee, and he didn't. It wouldn't have mattered if the pursuer was squeaky-clean John Doe, who spent his off-seasons in the Peace Corps and gave his MLB salary all over to charity.
