Ever since he came up to big leagues with Pittsburgh in the early 1990's, Barry Bonds has been viewed by his managers (Leyland, Baker), his teammates (VanSlyke, Kent), his opponents (Plantier) and the press (too numerous to mention) as being nasty, condescending and just a downright jackass. Even before he was a home run hitter - with about 25 a year and a .260 AVG - Sports Illustrated was documenting how he was so nasty. I've never figured out why. He's rich, has children, is famous, is successful ... etc. etc. So why the sour personality? Is it an emotional disturbance, an abusive childhood, drugs, an act? I've wondering about this for almost 15 years. And PLEASE don't make this a race issue.
