The Best Rumor Ever

Andrew Baggarly has an article in today's Mercury News about Barry Bonds's continued inability to find a job in 2008. While agent Jeff Borris claims Bonds "is in game shape," one baseball executive says, "I don't hear any chatter, any rumors - anything." What stood out the most to me, however, was this:
Some baseball officials believe Bonds might seek a one-year contract in Japan, where he is beloved.
This seems like a great idea. I think Japan could become a haven for disgraced steroid users. Roger Clemens, Sammy Sosa, and Rafael Palmeiro need jobs too. Why not?


It has been difficult to be a Giants fan these last several years - losing records, injuries, and bad contracts. We may be critical - but we stand by our team through good times and bad. The Giants remain one of the most storied franchises in the history of baseball and have a crop of new stars ready to add new pages to the Giants history books. Lincecum, Cain, Sanchez, Wilson and Sandoval are giving us reasons to be excited. Times may not always be stellar, but the Giants always give us something to talk about.
