Barry Bonds still has yet to formally retire from baseball. But the career of the major leagues’ reigning home run king is over, his agent says, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
“It’s two years since he played his last game, and if there was any chance he’d be back in a major-league uniform, it would have happened by now,” his agent, Jeff Borris, said Wednesday, according to the report.
Bonds, now 45, last played in 2007, when he led the National League in three offensive categories with the San Francisco Giants. But in November of 2007, a federal grand jury indicted him on perjury charges, alleging he lied when he testified he had never knowingly used performance-enhancing drugs.
No free agent offers came the following winter and spring.
“When 2008 came around, I couldn’t get him a job. When 2009 came around, I couldn’t get him a job. Now, 2010 … I’d say it’s nearly impossible,” Borris said, according to the report. “It’s an unfortunate ending to a storied career.”
If it’s truly over for Bonds, his career ends with 762 home runs, 1,996 runs batted in and seven National League MVP awards.
Known to pretty much everyone on earth besides Bonds himself, this pretty much is the needle nail in the coffin for what was once one of the most accomplished careers in baseball. The sad truth about Bonds and the definitive end to his career is that nobody even gives a fuck. If the king of all douchbags had any balls or what is left of them, he could have come clean a long time ago and many of the facts accusations would have probably been swept under the rug by now. Instead this fucking moron ruined everything good he had going for him. We all knew his head was inflated before the juice, now it is finally big enough to fit all the shit he thinks about himself in it.
