though they paid Bonds 19 million this season for part-time duty, he brought the fans in and packed em in like sardines, which brought the seasons attendance at AT&T Park to well over 3 million. That's a lot of people, hot dogs, beers, hats and everything else the average fan buys. I'm sure the Giants still made a ton of money this season. It would be fiscally smart to bring back Bonds for one more season next year even at a discounted rate of around 10 million, because, the Giants will still pack em in. As Bonds is like 65 hits short of 3,000 and 4 RBI's short of 2,000. It makes sense to keep him around one more season for this milestones. He is a cash cow for the Giants. He is their marquis name. Even with the steroid controversy, Bonds still makes tons of money for the Giants.
