Giants Say, "Barry Who?"

Ok, so we knew the Giants were headed in a new direction that would not include exhiled home run king, Barry Bonds. But from the sound of things, the Giants are looking to erase the memory of number 25 completely. ESPN reports:

The left-field wall no longer bears an image of Bonds chasing Hank Aaron for the home run crown, nor elsewhere is the number of Bonds' home runs in relation to Aaron posted.

There are no "756" signs -- signifying the home run he hit to break Aaron's record -- anywhere in the park, in fact. A team spokeswoman said the Giants would put up a plaque to note where he had hit his last homer with the team.

While the team looks to erase the memory of Bonds, the big question remains of who will actually show up. A report in today's San Francisco Chronicle states, "discounted tickets are being sold through Costco for the first time. Single-game and season-ticket sales are down from a year ago. And at StubHub, an online ticket marketplace for resellers, the value of Giants ticket sales overall is down 25 percent from last year."

Hope you weren't planning to make a living through scalping this year.
