Love the part with Bonds “If you want respect, you’ve got to give respect”…..I wonder how that worked out for Bonds.

I completely understand why you had to write about all the blow-ups that led to the trade, but I do think it would be worthwhile to go back over his career and remember the highlights. With his pitching prowess, his home runs, his unique athleticism for such a large man, and his (ahem) “fiery intensity”, he was often a joy to watch.
