Why do people insist that Barry is not coming back because of his problems off the field? If these people gave the reason that Barry might not recover from his knee injury, I would be cool with that but these people aren't. Please people, this is Barry Bonds. This is the biggest asshole in baseball. He is not your normal person who would just duck and hide and never come out again. Barry just doesn't care about what people think. Look at his stats when the steroid issue was hitting him hard. He has his two best seasons which are the two best seasons ever. He needs baseball to get his mind off these things. These issues are Barry's fuel. Barry wants to come back and shut everyone up and show that he is the best. People need to put this arguement to rest because it just doesn't make sense. Bonds, if recovered fully, will come back and hit like he has been. Basbeball might say they don't need him back but I beg to differ. Look at the road attendance for the Giants when Bonds was playing. Some teams charge extra when they play the Giants. Hate him all you want but a Barry AB is still one of the most exciting events in baseball, even if it is a walk.
