The New Black View
Amsterdam News has been reporting the news of the day from a Black perspective for 113 years.
All-time MLB great and reigning home run king Barry Bonds has ripped up the record books when it pertains to offensive productivity over his career. For a five-year period, pitchers were so afraid to throw to him that intentional walks were pretty much the norm and drew boos from the crowd…when his team was on the road.
Gaining election to the National Baseball Hall of Fame with the 75 percent needed 10 years on the ballot due to the banned substances controversy, Bonds will be inducted into the Pirates Hall of Fame on August 24.
