It will be interesting to see if someone takes one for the integrity of the sport and tries to miss his body armor up and in. Cory Lidle would have been the #1 suspect but for the tragedy (and moving to the AL). I'll take the Russ Springer lotto ticket - didn't they give him a standing ovation when he plugged Bonds last year?
I don't want some head-hunter to take him out (this whole thing is sordid enough already). I'm just gonna cross my fingers and hope his knees give out.
Yeah I'm sure some pitcher will step up for the integrity of the sport. Maybe Jason Grimsley can be brought back to do it. Or Guillermo Mota after he serves his suspension. Let those without sin cast the first beanball.
More likely someone will pluck him out of jealousy.
By the end of the season Bonds was relatively healthy. I expect better stats next season.

So, Septemberish if he's consistent with last year.
Tim Hamulack of the Dodgers got a standing ovation from the LA crowd after hitting Bonds. But that was already an emotional game when that happened.
And it was Tim Hamulack.
