so I bought the book and will read it obsessively for the next few days, until it's done, at which point I will probably re-read. There is an indictment in it of a couple Yankees, probably Sheffield and Giambi. I'll report more as I get through it. If anyone has comments about it, please share

ok so...88 pages in, and I see that Bonds' personality is...I don't really even know wha to say, he's a piece of work. He's seemingly had this antagonistic view of everyone his whole life
That, and the evidence that he's used drugs is OVERWHELMING. Everyone around him ran in many, many steroid circles.
Should be a good read... -
Yeah I'm about halfway threw it. I posted comments in another thread I'll repost them hereComment

Here's my comments from the other thread
The book starts off in the 1997 season one weekend 2 months into the season when Mark McGuire has 20 Homeruns already and The Giants are coming to St. Louis for a series. Bonds expresses jealousy towards McGwuire after losing the first two games of the series due to McGwuire homers. And after battling to win the third game in extra innings, Bonds tells his girlfriend he is going to do "the shit" meaning steroids.
Then the books goes back and gives a backround on Victor Conte, the owner of BALCO. It also has a chapter on Barry Bonds childhood which I found pretty intresting. Which kind of explains his personality.
Thats about as far as I am now. As an added note Bill "Romo" Romanowski's name was also brought up in the book. Not that is a suprise but he did have major conections to BALCO. I'll post more the further I get into it.Comment
