This Steroid Tale Seems Hard to Believe

Barry Bonds was asked recently by a group of reporters whether he had a dog. He replied that he did not.
When asked what the four-legged creature that was sitting in his lap and that he was calling Fido was, Bonds replied: “This? I don’t know. It was given to me three years ago by my trainer.”
When informed that Fido was indeed a dog, Bonds expressed surprise: “Really? I had no idea. I never asked what it was. I was just told that Fido would help cure my arthritis.”

Do you think anyone will pay $1.26 million for the first jar of “the cream” Bonds used?

Criticize Shawn Green all you want for all the weak grounders to the right side and the inning-ending double plays. But it appears to me that the lanky, sweet-swinging Green might be the only player to hit 45+ home runs in a season from 1997 to 2002 without the aid of steroids.
